first of all thanks to all for the very nice comments received on my previous items posted this morning -- as i am new i am still wondering around the site --

can someone clue me in as to what LQS -- BOM -- DH (evidently refers to the husband) and LA mean -- i do not text message to i'm pretty well sitting here clueless in vancouver washington in these matters

well onward and upward in regards to making a cover for your sewing machine using the grocery bags that have replaced the plastic and paper bags for a more friendly environment for mother earth

i take the bag turn up the sides to cover the height of my machines -- which are the singer featherweights and the elna su 68s --

i then stitch down the length of the bag handles and viola -- i have a cover with pockets to hold my foot pedal, cord and anything else i wish to keep handy or hide while keeping my machine dust free and waiting for the next project

i can then embellish with decals, tassels and buttons or beads to suite my taste -- this is always the fun part -- going into my goodie trunks and finding what i have squirreled away over the months and years

Cute. DH means husband, LA means long arm, BOM Block of the Month, Can't remember what else you were asking about...

Like your idea!!! Keeps my stash for other things and at about a buck a piece, the price can't be beat.
