Re: [CHICKENS-101] Re: Chicken saddles

 

Folks, if you're looking for production sewing at home, get a serger. They sew and finish the seam at the same time. I spent a weekend with a group in Geauga county  here, making clothes for premies. If you want to do production sewing, a serger is what you want. I must have knocked off about 30 footed sleepers that day. 


If anyone is close to me (Willoughby Hills, Ohio), I'd be happy to teach them to sew. I don't have a serger, but it's much the same, just more work with a regular machine.

           I tried sewing my own, and it just took too long. If I only needed one at a time, it would have been do-able, but I needed 5, quickly, as I was leaving for almost 2 weeks. Had to get the Turkens "dressed" before I left. I used fabric glue. Cut them, glued them, and set them to dry for 24 hours. That was July 15th. They're still holding.....
           I do intend to actually sew some, but will use these in the interim for those who need a more permanent solution. I'd LOVE to order them, but for now, there are other places to bestow my ever smaller financial reserves. The fabric is a boldly flowered, fairly heavy tablecloth sort of thing that I got at the Thrift store.
           One side note, while I was gone, some visitors saw the chickens in their new finery. The lady was enchanted by the "Flowered Chickens". Joe won't say how he explained it.
