Now I Really Need A Serger

So after my numerous attempts at sewing clothing for my daughter, I've come to the conclusion that I am ready for a serger.  It would make things so much easier if I had one, but I'm not sure I'm ready to ask the hubby to spend the money on one...It would be like buying a second sewing machine and it's not exactly necessary, but it would make the items I sew look cleaner and neater.

Here is more reason to want a serger:

The pink paisley is to make a matching pair of ruffle pants to go with the knot dress I made Kendall last week.  The green and pink flowered material is to make a skirt for Kendall and the blue and red fabric I envision a pillowcase dress.  Using mostly the blue and a panel of the red at the bottom with bright red ribbon to tie it at the arms.  Even if I don't invest in a serger, I've got plenty of projects to keep me busy for awhile!
