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.

Georgia wrote;"I'm planning on buying a machine and take lessons over the winter."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.Margo
