The darling little pajamas are from Shari, the designer behind the Thimbles and Acorns brand, as the prototype cover piece for the 14.5" Union Suit pattern - too cute!

Do you use a basic standard machine or one with all the bells and whistles? What about a serger, are you using one of those? (or wondering what in the world I’m talking about!)

I use a Brother XL-3750. I like it because it’s simple to use, was not terribly expensive, and does everything I need it to do. It’s a pretty basic machine, but it does have some fancy stitches, just not a ton of them. But I never use them so that wasn’t what I was looking for in a machine. I needed to replace one that had died on me, and I didn’t want to pay a lot. This one was a good price, and does everything I need it to do. It’s great.
