There's this one:
http://craftyhipster.typepad.com/cra...ight-tote.html
She's also got a bag for the foot controller on that page.
I did a custom liner for mine with handles to help lift her out of the case, and I'm working on a second one, that will look better, now that I can bind better. V2.0 always looks better anyway

Huntersgrammie,
I'm sorry to say that if your mother's Singer came in a cabinet and has hinges to hold it in, it is not a Featherweight.
Post a picture of it and/ or it's serial number and we can tell you what it is.

ok i was wondering what a featherweight was. i have inherited my mother in laws old singer. looks like it. it is next door at my neighbours right now so i don't have access to the information on it. but i have all the accessories the booklets, and the wonderful cabinet it came in. and its in mint condition. i had given it to her a few years ago as i didn't sew then, but she has decided to move back home, which is across the country and it was to much to ship it so she offered it back to me first. luck have it i learned how to sew a few months ago and i am getting it back. didn't realize what a gem i had and am so thankful she offered it back to me as several of her friends had wanted it. when i get it back this month i will post pictures of it and get more information on it then thanks for listening.

I really like that case cover because it's reversible. I think the only thing I'd change is to is make the straps go all the way around the bottom. (Less attractive, but maybe a person could "cover" the straps in some way?) That's a fair bit of weight for a couple of layers of cotton to carry. The other thing I've been doing lately is using my FW case liner and putting it and the FW in a "soft" bag to carry to sewing circle. It's a little easier to throw the strap over my shoulder and carry, especially on a "bad disk" day (looking like that's what I'll do today)

Simplicity pattern 7087 from 2002 has a fabric sewing machine tote pattern. I don't know the dimensions of it.
but they sell sewing machine bags on ebay for $23 - $35, and JoAnn Fabric had the wheeled trolleys / totes marked down to $35 as of June 1, 2013.

I have carried my FW case in a wheeled trolley like MadCow333 describes. It's a "standard" sized SM case, and it has room on top and on the sized for my projects / notions.
