I didn't want to start on the backing this evening because I was kinda tired of working on that project. Instead I had another project in mind that I have been thinking about making. I knew it would be quick and easy, so thought it would be just the thing for a temporary change of pace.
When I first got my sewing machine (probably at least 10 -12 years ago), it came with a soft plastic cover, with a pocket to hold the instruction booklet and the detachable cord. I had intended to eventually replace that cover with something different, I thought maybe even one of those hard plastic sewing cases. Well I never did get around to it, and after all these years that plastic cover has gotten pretty sad looking.
I've been thinking for awhile that I would like to make a new cover to replace that plastic, however, I had no pattern, just some ideas of what could work to put one together. So I pulled out my stash of materials and found some I liked, and began to work on my idea.
Sure enough, it didn't take very long, and I thought it came out pretty well.
I added an extra long pocket and sectioned it off so that I can put some extras in if needed.
And here is a view of the back.
It should do a good job of keeping my machine clean and dust-free, don't you think?
And for comparison, here's a picture of the old cover.
About time, wouldn't you say?
