The silk jacket is done, pressed and ready to go. AND I
found a dark navy RTW rayon knit tank top (that's a
sleeveless scoop necked top, for those [Joanne] who don't
know what a tank top is) to wear with it, so I don't have to
try to get that made.
I was done serging with off-white thread, and decided to
repair the camp shirt. Re-threaded the serger with navy
thread. I always cut-off-and-pull-through new colors,
usually saves a ton of time. Unfortunately, I broke the
bottom looper thread. :-( Searched for the instruction
manual, aaargh, nowhere it should be. The diagram on the
serger door is fairly good, so I attempted to thread the
looper using the thread path shown there. No joy, would not
form a chain. After several more attempts, I finally got it
right, so now I'm set and ready to go tomorrow AM to finish
the camp shirt.
When I do find the Huskylock serger manual, I'm going to
scan the threading diagrams and instruction and print off
several copies to keep near the serger.
And, DGS came over this morning, and we packed up all the
loose stuff (in the curios etc.) in the living room, and he
helped me move everything except the big media cabinet out
of the room, so now I'm ready for DD and DSIL to start
tearing out the carpet and lay the new hardwood flooring as
soon as we get back from Nashville.
YEAH! Betcha can hear the sound of dancing feet all the way
over there.

How nice for you, and how kind to explain yourself so carefully. So
there is no misunderstanding.

And it takes its name from its resemblance to the top of a tank suit
-- a no-frills cotton maillot* worn when swimming in a tank -- a
no-frills indoor pool used for exercise or instruction.
I wore tank suits when taking swimming lessons at the Y in the early
sixties. In addition to requiring a shower before swimming, the
management insisted that nothing they hadn't supplied go into the
tank. Each size of suit was a different color to make it easy to sort
them. Never occurred to me that it also made it easy to see what size
each woman was -- but then, in tank suits you don't need color coding
to see that!
The tank suit was considered immodest, and men and women were
instructed separately.
*from Wikipedia: "The maillot is the fashion designer's name for a
woman's one-piece swimsuit."
