In the interim, you might consider making a slip-over quilted cover to protect the case. Someone on Etsy made mine in a beautiful Amy Butler print. The cover slips over the top (think toaster cover) and case handle is exposed for carrying. Good luck!
Hey Kay, I did see those covers. The problem I have with them is that vintage handles and cases should really not be trusted for carrying. I've seen the aftermath of a machine coming out of the bottom and have had several cases where the handle was either punched through the top or the surrounding area was so damaged from the weight that it wasn't possible to perform an attractive fix at all. I have seen a couple of totes in very attractive fabrics that are basically that cover turned upside down - that I'm all over.

I got my moneys worth.

I so wish I could live somewhere that I could use something like that year round. I just do too much damage to them in the winter trying to drag them through snow.
