Ticked off the to do list

I have wanted to make a cover for the sewing machine for a long time 

I mean a long long time. 

The cover that came with the machine had  perished and was no longer usable 

I finally decided that today I’d get to work 

I found fabric that would do the job 

I wanted to make it a quilted cover so I also needed a backing fabric 

I found a green to match, but unfortunately it was all in scraps. 

They were large scraps, so I needed to sew them together to get the sizes I needed 

I did the measuring 

I worked out the math 

And I started to cut and sew 

I quilted all the panels 

And sewed them all together. I decided to use binding on the edges as they were 

Too thick to just sew and turn 

The finished product 

I even added a pocket on one side 



It took longer than I had anticipated. But I kept going until it was done 

I think it looks ok. And it definitely does the job 

No more  having to dust the machine everytime I wanted to use it. 

Well I hope I won’t have too.
