When I saw the two star Familiar Sounds assignment, I knew that I could use the sound I recorded from my serger. This is the sound story created by serging the cuffs of a pair of pants. As I serge I go quicker sometimes than I do others and often have to stop to adjust my fabric, which you can hear in the sound story.

In order to make the sound story, I leaned my iPod Touch against the serger as it ran, using my eyeglasses to hold it in place, which I forgot to take a picture of. I recorded the story in Voice Memos before emailing it to myself and shortening it in Audacity.

Some of the audio from this soundstory was used in our radio show as well.
