A Winner and a Winning Sewing Machine Cover

Gill Watson! You are a winner! You won the e-version of Sweet Tweets! Congratulations :) I sent you an email.
 
 
A few weeks ago, I decided to tackle a sewing machine cover for my Janome 6600. I was still using the vinyl cover that came with the machine. But when a terrific load of Yuwa fabric was dropped on our shop...I just knew it was time!
 
 
This fabric, in particular, was the one that got my wheels spinning!
 
So without a pattern...just a good foundation of bag and box making...I set forth to create....
the EPIC SEWING MACHINE COVER!!!!
 
 
  I truly cobbled this together! Honestly, it was whack and hack!
 
I added a long pocket (divided) made of Hexies! Some of my favorite pieces fussy cut and some of the sweet hexies Susi sent to me!
 
 
I added a smaller hexie pocket on the reverse side...and some pieced letters...as well as bits of some of my favorite fabrics ;)
 
 
On both ends, I added tall pockets for rulers and tall things! Notice the fussy cutting! Hahahaha!
 
It was fun putting it together and really not difficult. I do find that if I am attempting something from scratch...oversize the pieces when possible. It's like your hair, you can always cut more off...it's difficult to put it back together. 
 
happy Monday!

    what a great cover you have made, now your machine looks so good and can be left out and admired. Such a good idea having the pockets, I have a bernina and the foot pedal, extension table etc are all stored in the hard cover so the pockets would be ideal for those bits maybe I will attempt to make one too
