A Sewing Machine Cover.
It has taken me a little while but it
took my finally got sick of all the dust in my sewing machine to make
me realise that I need a cover for it.
A quick hunt through the fabric stashes
(yes plural) I found the one. Its a Halloween print quilting fabric,
a purple base with little black bats and orange stars.
All the necessary components, including my cup of tea.
To start with I measured my sewing
machine.
I could not find my tape measure so I
just grabbed my yard stick and measured it roughly.
Then measured the pattern out with
scrap paper.
Cut the fabric to size, leaving about 2
cm gap all the way around for seam allowance.
Sew together.
To finish I edged the bottom with some
black satin ribbon I had laying around.
And voila, my sewing machine cover is
complete.
I had thought of lining it with
something to stiffen it up, like cardboard, interfacing or wadding
but a lack of suitable materials and a severe case of the
“couldn't-be-bothered-s” I left it as it is. It does the job,
that is all that matters.
