Mine drapes perfectly and makes the machine look a bit less drab when sitting out on the shelf.Neon Kactus We aim to do this by creating reusable products for an on the go lifestyle with unrivalled style and performance that will decrease the need for plastic production. Then finish it off with a straight seam.Īnd here’s the final product! Hope you’re as happy with yours. Hem the cover by folding about 1 inch of fabric under and pressing all the way around. As you can see, I overshot my side piece measurements, but that’s okay. Trim the seams using your pinking shears (this prevents fraying), then flip it right-side out and press the seams (below photo is before pressing). Step 5: Trim seams and hemĪll the pieces are now attached to one another.
Again, if you’re a visual person, you’ll probably want to drape the cover over your machine again ensure your last two seams are sewn in the right place to complete the cover’s structure. This is how it should look now: absolutely nothing like a sewing machine cover, but it’s getting there. Then I flipped it inside out, pinned, and sewed two more seams. I triple checked that I was sewing in the right place by draping the fabric over the machine and folding it over as shown below. This is a bit tricky because you’re turning your fabric into a box shape rather than two flat pieces sewn onto one another. Sew the top of each side piece along the side of the big piece.
Step 4: Attach the top of the side pieces The second pic is after they are sewn on and flipped over. Sew up the two seams you designated with pins like below. That’s why using rectangular side pieces would be easier-you won’t need to worry as much about lining up the slope correctly. If your sides slope like mine did, you might want to drape the pieces over the machine to double check where and in which direction you need to pin the side pieces. Ensure the right sides of the fabric are facing one another. On the side pieces, pin the edges that will be the two back seams. Pin the two side pieces to the the big piece as pictured below. I also recommend labeling them since it’s easy to get the pieces confused! Step 3: Pin and sew one side Once you’ve measured and marked your pieces, cut them out. Step 2: Cut fabric for the sewing machine cover I did 1 inch on each side of each piece because I wanted the cover to fit loosely over the machine. You also need to build in your desired seam and hem allowance. Either approach would be fine, and using two rectangles would be easier. My machine has a bit of a slope, so I decided to measure along that instead of using two rectangles for the sides. Measure long-ways across the top (not the sides) and then from the bottom of the front to the bottom of the back.Īnd here’s how I measured the length and width for the smaller side pieces.

Here’s how I measured the length and width for the big piece (the one that stretched from front to back). I made my cover using three pieces of fabric: one big piece that stretched from front to back and two smaller pieces for each side. Measure your sewing machine (or, if your machine came with a cover, measure that).
