Super awesome sewing machine cover

I am no sewing expert and I have a very long ways to go. The only way to get better is to practice. I thought about all the fun things I need done and will be good for practicing. The top one on my list was a sewing machine cover. My machine used to belong to my grandma before she left and decided to hand it down to me. For the longest time (we're talking years) it sat in my parent's garage collecting dust. There was no cover or instruction manual with it when my Dad brought it to me last year. So of course it just sat in my apartment collecting more dust. By then I was learning about home decor and wanted to learn how to sew.

When I started taking my sewing class, my teacher noticed how bad the poor sewing machine sounded. It had obviously not been cleaned or oiled for a long time. She suggested that I either get a cover for it or make one. So after cleaning and oiling it (and a few months later), grammie's machine finally has a cover!



This project was made out of scrap pieces of fabric. Leftovers from other stuff that I made.


Fabric is expensive so I wanted to get my money's worth. I also had these cute buttons from Joann Fabrics.


Added some love...


Also added a pocket in the back with more love, lots more.



Yes, it's not perfect but I gave it a try and I like it for now.

For my next project I plan to go back to painting. I haven't done any painting posts lately and I need to. See this blank canvas?

It's just begging for something amazing.
