My sewing machine needed a home...

...so I'm making one. :)

It's a little hard to tell in the photo, but I quilted the walls horizontally in random, slightly wavy lines 1/4-1/2" apart, and the roof is cross-hatched. I used W&N batting, but it was too floppy on it's own, so I constructed a frame using an old cardboard box and some duct tape.

I haven't decided yet if I should keep it simple with just one big door and window, or if I should really go all out and make it a two story house with lots of frilly details.

Opinions and suggestions gratefully welcomed!

looks great so far

Yes it does look great so far! It will look wonderful whether you put a few simple windows/doors or if you decide to go all out with fun, frilly details. I'd probably go all out and and let the creativity flow!

Love the entire idea :)

Great idea. Put a door and some windows - make it a real home.

The old machines had 'coffins' to cover them. I like a house much better!

How creative is this!! Can't wait to see the finished product! So do you just it set down on top of the machine or is it a carrying case?
