Serger Droppings


My boyfriend, George, is one of those people who cleans as you go. I love that about him. He is always picking up a broom in the middle of cooking a meal or the time he had to help me with a huge drapery order I was working on. Lately, we have been working on 35 pillow cases for Conkerr Cancer. We have been using the serger to add the cuffs quickly. For some reason I was keeping the scraps that fall from the serger in one pile on the table beside me. I'm not sure why, I just wanted to see how big the pile would get. So, George-the cleaner, came up behind me and asked me what that pile was. I was quiet for a minute, not sure how to explain my strange obsession I had with keeping these pillow case scraps all together. I looked at the scraps and back at him and said, "That is serger poop." We both cracked up and I have cleaned it up a little for you by calling it Serger Droppings. I am posting a picture of the pile, but keep in mind there are five more pillow case droppings to add. I may have to make my dog, Bobbin, a pillow with the droppings, as I have grown quite fond of them. Ok....now you also know that I am nuts!

  1. In my children's book, yet to be published, my dog's name is Bobbin! :) That's a great big pile o' droppings you've got there... consistent with the amount of work you guys have been turning out! Well done~

  2. That's funny. I named him Bobbin because I bought him with my 'sewing' money. Martha Pullen also has dog named Bobbin.

  3. That's the most beautiful pile of droppings I've ever seen, lol!!!!!!!! I think stuffing a pillow with them is a brilliant idea.
