Anyone have a pattern for a fabric cover for a featherweight?
 
Hello fellow featherweight fans!

Quite a few years ago, I took a featherweight maintenance class. The teacher had a terrific looking fabric cover for her featherweight case. I failed to ask about a pattern for it and have been looking in vain for one. I thought perhaps someone on the board might have one.

I know I could figure it out based on the dimensions of the case, but I am hoping someone has done all that work and figured out what size to cut the pieces, etc.

My case is in very good condition, but I hope to keep it that way longer if it was covered.

Anyone familiar with such a pattern?

Thanks to everyone in advance for any help you can give.

I just posted the same question more or less a couple of hours ago.... I'm trying to cover my hard case because it looks pretty beaten up.

I would like a pattern for one for my FW Annie, but I want one that just covers her and a special slip on cover for her extension with a cushion spot to keep her from being scratched. If anyone finds one, let me know too

I made a carrying case using my bowling bag as a pattern. And just a simple over the top cover when she's sitting out. I posted the carrying case in the quilts using vintage sewing machines.

I had bought 2 FW, each at diff. times and neither had a case. I did go online and order new replacement cases. it has been years and don't remember where I got them. They have the double latches and key lock, black and very nice. My third FW given to me had its orginal case.

It should be easy enough to draft a simple pattern like this.
