Machine Covers
 

A recent poster asked about machine covers. Due to different machine sizes it is difficult to recommend a specific pattern. It is easy to make your own pattern.

Simply measure your machine. Add one inch for seam allowance so you have a little extra room. You can fit the pattern to muslin first and pin or baste together. Re-use the muslin pieces later as desired.

Try the cover on the machine for fit. Hemming is done last. If your machine came with a plastic type cover you can use it for a pattern too.

A few How-To in case you are interested and need more directions.

One for a Serger

PS: For my covers, I checked my manual for specifications. The measurements are already given. Easy! Enjoy!

I applaud anyone who can make a cover for the machine. I just throw a piece of fabric over my little brother. Hope he does not mind. :)

I used ironed out brown paper grocery bags draped over my machines to make my own patterns. Didn't want to waste the muslin. No problem.

I had purchased a kit for a sewing machine cover from the local Sewing Guild that they offered as one of their fundraisers. They were made from upholstery fabric. I finally made it up and liked it so well, I took some upholstery fabric scraps I had and made one for all my machines. I still need to make one for my serger though.

Boston, At least he is covered up. Funny I haven't seen a "he" machine before so you surprised me. I couldn't believe all the dust in my sewing room. How does that happen?

AliKat, Great idea to use paper bags. Love it!

Cashs mom, It seems hard to fit a serger cover. I made a fitted pattern for mine but haven't put it together yet.

Another free pattern I found.

A friend asked me to make a 'covered wagon' looking machine cover for her.
No pattern - just winged it. Had a few oopsies, and re-doing - but a mostly fun project. She wanted blue wheels - which ended up looking like morning glories, but she like it. She also added other pioneering 'equipment' that really decked it out cute.
I've never had a cover for my machines until now - and that's only because it came with the machine! hahaha!

Your covered wagon version is adorable! Such a fun cover I wouldn't want to take it off.

Here's mine

The little wagon is so cute! I love it.

Love it! Looks like the elephants are marching across your machine, Cute!
