Remember
the somewhat failed tote bag for my quilting bee swap? I replaced it with a sewing machine cover that, admittedly, I had a bit of difficulty parting with. My swap partner was
Yahaira, for whom the colors & fabric seemed perfect. I'd been hanging onto those dandelions for a long time, waiting for the right project, and here it was.
There's no pattern, per se; just a straightforward, rectangular backing-batting-top sandwich with some grosgrain ribbon ties.
I had a bit of fabric leftover, from which I eked out a little bonus basket about the right size for holding a few sewing notions.
That's
the second fabric basket I've made, and I still think
the pattern is genius.
That is so simple - have made an overlocker cover, but to tell you the truth quite cumbersome to put on and off - this idea is much better. Thanks for posting and I LOVE those fabric baskets.
ReplyDeleteBut it's so perfect and pretty. I know how hard it can be to part with a fabric or fiber you adore.
ReplyDeletethis is lovely! I have been meaning to make a sewing machine cover for awhile now, and I love the simple construction. Inspiring!
ReplyDeleteTerrific use for that great fabric (I love the color!). The pattern and tutorial for the fabric basket are great - I'll definitely be making some of these for gifts.
ReplyDeleteVery stylish project and so easy! Definitely something to add to my TO DO list, which is growing fast!
ReplyDeleteSimply beautiful!
ReplyDeletegenius it is~
ReplyDeleteOh thats lovely! I have been feeling the need to sew lately so I might have a go at a nice cover for my machine, thank you for the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteFantastic!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! That fabric is so cheery!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year to you!
I love this...I'm planning on trying it out this weekend!
ReplyDeleteIm buying a new sewing machine and was thinking about how to do the new cover. Thank you thank you! Will copy yours if thats ok. Now I just have to find some worthy fabric.
ReplyDeleteHow gorgeous and chic looking! So much nicer than the vinyl cover that came with my machine, may have to try this!
