Sewing a Sewing Machine Cover
After crocheting and baking my way through December and January, I wanted to switch things up and get back to sewing. (In fact one of my goals for this year is too become a decent seamstress. Not a great one, but good enough that I will actually have confidence in them). Thankfully after a brief pinterest search, I was able to find this fun project, that was both easy enough for me to hand and would also added some color to my sewing desk.

The worst part of this project is that there is no pattern to go with it, but I guess that makes sense. There are a bunch of different sewing machines and one pattern would definitely not fit all. The good thing is that finding all the measurements is fairly easy.
From my measurements, I made pattern pieces out of cardboard and cut out the fabric pieces I needed. I then covered my sewing machine with the fabric to make sure it would fit right.
Everything looked great, so I went ahead and used the hem tape to hem up my ends. I also cut out the hole for the handle and used the hem tape to secure the excess fabric.
Here is how it turned out:
Its far from perfect. I apparently forgot to leave extra room at the bottom for the hem and its a little snug around the edges, but over all it looks okay. (This is great because I really thought for a while that it was going to be another fail for this year!) And more importantly, I'm already plotting on how to improve on it... once I figure out my color scheme for my sewing desk!
