Halloween Serger Projects
A serger is just as valuable a tool to crafters as it is for those who love to design and sew their own garments and home décor items. And with all the holidays we celebrate each year, a serger helps make every project go faster and look more professional. Halloween is almost here and this holiday is perfect for letting your creativity kick into high gear. There are unlimited spooky Halloween-themed projects you can complete on your serger: for your home, your family and your pets! Here are a few project ideas with links for complete directions. Happy Halloween!
Witch Hat Centerpiece
Create a charming centerpiece for your table or fireplace mantle using your serger and some basic materials. After forming the hat base out of poster board or a foam core floral cone, simply stitch up a piece of heavy-duty black fabric and add rows of glittery metallic stitching to create the brim. If your serger has the capabilities to create a 4-thread overlock stitch and a 3-thread wide stitch, this impressive witch’s hat could be the focal point of your dining table in no time!
