Here is a sewalong for the Dressy Talk Ruffle Top & Dress, which is a free pattern mentioned in one of my Frugal Fridays videos. Lots of hints & tips for making the best use of your sewing time, along with a few techniques to try - including sewing a 2 thread rolled hem & a narrow hem on a serger/overlocker.
I've included Timestamps so that it's easier for you to come back & refer to certain step.
