Hello all, I'm wondering if someone out there might have a simple and FREE upright vacuum cleaner cover pattern??
I found one resource online -a Simplicity pattern S8177- that I would have to travel 15 miles to get, if they even have it at JoAnn's. (I'd phone first, but the store has maybe two gals on the floor... pitiful.)

I sure could use the extra room in the closet for this ol' KIrby monstrosity and hiding it "under cover" is my only option. Thanks in advance for any and all help.

I made mine into a housemaid with dress & apron. She needed shoulder pads for the dress to fit & not droop. The handle is inside the bear's body.

how do you get this to stay upright x

There's batting all around the hold where the handle of the vacuum goes. You would make a sleeve that loosely fits the upright vacuum handle. It goes inside the doll upper body, with stuffing around it. (My MIL gave me a cat vacuum cover.)

Thanks will have to give this a go, I take it the dress comes off so it can be washed.
