MY SEWING MACHINE COVER - 20 MINUTES TOPS!!

Hello Everyone!

How have you all been?

I went to the

Thrift Store the other day and found

this beautiful large Wall-hanging. It

is machine quilted, (something that I

do not do). The quilting has a pretty

design and the lady that made it did

a very nice job with her fabric choices.

I could not pass this up and besides

it was only $5.00. A STEAL it was for

that price. I surely did

not know what I was going to do with it.

Especially since it is large.

After I washed

and dried it - the thought became very clear! 

This Wall-hanging was destined to become

my new and only Sewing Machine Cover!!

I have procrastinated many times about making

a Sewing Machine cover and now that the

opportunity arose, it was fate - I tell you!

 

This is my finished Sewing Machine Cover.

 This is the left side.

 Here is the right side where the cords go in.

 This is how I always kept the dust off before. I

do kind of like this linen fabric. Maybe that is

why I always kept it on my sewing machine.

 Here is my sewing machine. Now it may look small

but I assure you that it is not. My sewing machine

is big! And it has a long handle across the top.  This

Sewing Machine cover that I made was not meant

to be used in transporting my machine. I just wanted

a cover to keep the dust off. If I have to transport it,

then there is no way that I will transport it with

any cloth cover! My machine was expensive and it

came with a huge

plastic cover that will safely keep my sewing

machine from getting damaged.

 See one of the sides of my machine. The right side angles.

It was not going to be easy to make a cover to fit

really good. So I opted on just making it fit the best

that I could.  No rocket science here. In fact I kind of

like it that it is like this, because now I do not have

to make sure that the cover is perfect, just pretty and

decent looking.

 I am so glad that the Wall-hanging was super large.

I measured my machine and this piece just fit top to bottom.

I did

not have to cut anything off of the bottom. Great, it

was already hemmed!!!

I hope that you can see the pretty machine stitching

that was done here.

 This was the back side. Just stitch up the sides is

all that I did. Nothing fancy. It only took about 20

minutes and that included measuring my machine.

I love fast projects like this!!

 See the pretty inside fabric.

 The only thing cut off was the 2 side seams. It looks

like a lot but I assure you that it is only about 1.5.

inches cut off. Maybe I should have just left it on

there. Oh well - too late for that reasoning.

I think that I am going to look at those CUTTER QUILTS

on ebay. They would

be so pretty and vintage looking! Since cutter quilts

are damaged quilts - then you do not have to worry

about getting fuzzy with making the cover. When I get

a cutter quilt then I will show you another Sewing

Machine cover, with pincushions and other

stuff that I make!

 

This would be a FUN PROJECT!!! Make it fun.

Hopefully

you will find a wall-hanging or a cutter quilt in a

thrift store near you.

Keep your eyes open!! you never know when

inspiration hits you!

 

Hmmmm what else can I get into. I already have

a few other ideas!

 

Thank you for visiting!!

 

Many hugs and kisses,
