When it comes to hand-crafted essentials in ones sewing room, I feel you can’t go past a handmade cover for each of your treasured workhorses! It’s something people will notice first upon entering the secret realm that is your creative space, and usually something they will comment on too!
“Oh wow! Did you make that?”, and “Ooh I love your machine cover! Where did you get it from? You made it yourself?! WOW!!”, are just some of the compliments you receive and, let’s be honest, it’s always nice to receive compliments on our creations, right?
Plus, naked machines are just asking to be covered in dust, lint, sticky fingers, bug poop, marker, stickers, food and anything else that may have access to your sewing room… π
I’ve had handmade covers for my machines for a little while now, and have often been asked how I made them and if I would be creating a pattern for them at some point. Well, here we go! This is the Made For Me Sewing Machine Cover.
The pattern has two main options β either use the standard fit size to quickly whip up a cover for your machine or as a gift for someone else, or use the custom fit size to design a cover that fits your machine perfectly! The pattern comes with full instructions on measuring your machine and drafting the pattern pieces required for the custom fit size.
Also included in the pattern are options to include piping, add a pocket on the back of the cover to store your extension table, presser foot and/or power cord, and also create cut outs so your Made For Me Sewing Machine Cover sits nicely over your machine so you can keep it plugged in when not in use. And YES! This pattern can also be used to make covers for your overlockers/sergers as well!!
