In Progress #6

I have opted to serge the hem before attaching the pink tier to the skirt, because this thing is just getting so heavy and cumbersome. BFF's friend actually asked if we were going for a record for world's heaviest skirt. Another 5 hours were put into it by us last night/early this morning, after a long deserved break (2.5hrs each). Then we called it a night. Well, we also managed to kill her serger :(
I was working on serging all of her seams from piecing the pink and got to a point where I couldn't do anymore of that, but didn't want to start pinning the red to the purple and ruffling. I pulled the tail of the pink and started to serge the bottom for the hem. The needle bent and caused a big mess, including breaking one of the pins on the base plate of the serger. It's currently unusable.
We finished piecing the pink, then packed it in and called it a night.
This morning, I decided to sit and start reinforcing the parts of the skirt that are already attached to one another. I did 3 rounds of this (white-white, white-yellow, yellow-orange) and got pretty fed up. I think this is getting put away for a couple days at least.
More later, but focus on something else now.
