Taxes, serger thread and fabric galore!

I got my first bit of fabric this week, yay! I'm researching direct suppliers now. I want to develop a relationship with a source buyer, I think it will be better off for me in the end. Today was a big day, I got my sister's serger in the mail. My serger just isn't workhorse enough to keep up with the demands I'll be putting on it so my sis graciously offered to loan me hers while I get things up and running. I also got in some thread cards from Superior and think that's the thread I'm ultimately going to use. Bottom line is that I'm going to use the best of the best I can so my products can stand the test of time. After all, one of the benefits of cloth is using the diapers for multiple kids, these dipes have to last. I washed some bamboo today and will start dying and sewing tomorrow, making some testers. Since I already have a construction design I'm happy with, and I know that absorbancy is fine, I'm really just testing serger thread and dyes at this point. I'll be a bit ahead of the game though, so when I get back from vacation in mid March all I need to do is start working.
