Machine cover from leftovers
I had some leftovers from the quilt I made for myself and decided to
give my Janome 1600 a new cover. Here is the result. Nice and tight fitting and made to fit. I cut down the size of the sashing, in half, as it leant itself to a smaller sashing style than I used on the quilt. Enjoy! http://good-times.webshots.com/photo...00692635xrrYRT John |

I have gained a real love for this machine. It won't do everything, but it is a wonderful way to control the process, due to it's slow paced and precise way of working. And, it is Great Fun. John |

I feel it should be lined, but wonder what other people do with their machine covers. I see patterns, but it seems best to make one especially for each machine. Different sizes, shapes, and cabinet or no cabinet. That's what makes it fun -- starting from scratch. René |

René This one is a grey/blue cotton solid. The batting I used is a wool cut off from the quilt I just finished. I have used a cotton twill for some of them but I didn't have any in the blue color that I wanted, so I used the regular cotton. Just use something that will take the wear and tear is my thought.

I can't figure out if I enjoy his quilting or his woodworking more! I have made covers for my main machine and serger. Twice I have used extra fabric from my window coverings. Fabric is a bit more substantial than quilting cotton and I just make the things a single layer of fabric. Nothing fancy but they match the decor in the room and keep Lily cat out of the thread. I just work from the covers that originally came with the machines. Really simple and changeable with the window coverings. Taria |

When I make new covers, I recycle the old ones into Grocery bags, by putting strap handles on them. I either use them myself, if I still like them, or give them away as presents. Shhh! Don't tell.

Nice job, John!
My machines are kept put away for the most part since I use my dining table as a sewing table. I like the ideas everyone has of doing matching covers!

That looks great John, I've got a couple of things I could do covers for
the Mixmaster, the SM, my photographic enlarger. Now you've got me thinking about the next small project - something to keep me away from the big one - a new quilt for my bed. I'm still having trouble deciding on a pattern for that one. Thanks for the ideas Heather in West Oz "John" wrote in message ...
