Love the shoe! I made a new cover for my sewing machine. I took a long time to decide on the pattern and the fabric. A month after I made it, I bought a new machine, and of course it doesn't fit. And the fabric is discontinued.

Then I drafted my own pattern on some brown paper. For each piece I cut out the fabric, batting, and lining (pink check), put them together, did some FMQ, and then sewed with wrong sides together. Then sewed some bias binding on all seams. Easy-peasey :!:

That's very cute and it doesn't sound too difficult. Think I will give it a go this weekend. Thanks!

This is such a cute and cheerful pattern in your sewing room!

I actually signed up for a sewing machine cover class in my LQS. With all your wonderful ideas, I think I can give that class a miss! :-)

I love your cover, granny, so much nicer than the old tablecloth that covers my embroidery machine.

Hello Granny
Love your machine cover, it's cute
Here is mine, made in two parts for Brother Innov-is 4000D recently made from bag pattern
I made original cover and underskirt, then found that the embroidery unit caught up the with skirt when attached because of the height difference on bench, so made another piece and herringbone stitched two skirt pieces together, cross-hatched in wrong direction of add-on piece :roll:

Hello Quilter 711, love your avatar of pussycat playing the accordian - not sure which two people you're talking about but I'm sure your comments are appreciated - we all had to learn at the beginning and practise will make perfect (almost, we hope) one day - please keep going and show us your work

I really like this. It sort of looks like 'Old Mother Hubbard's Shoe'
