sewing machine cozy

I made a cozy to keep the dust out of my new sewing machine.  The fabric is You Got the Notions (Project Runway for Robert Kaufman).  I adapted the free sewing machine cozy pattern on Spool.  I changed the dimensions to better fit my machine, added the pocket and handle, and inserted a lining.

I just got my first sewing machine for Christmas and I'm pretty proud of how this project turned out.

   

Who else has made their own sewing machine cozy?  Any pictures?

Wow!  It looks great.  Way to go making the pattern your own.  That's impressive!

That looks great!   Congrats on your new machine!  I haven't made one for mine, I have the hard case to keep my lttle ones out of it

Wow thats really wonderful! I need to make one for my serger instead of that thin plastic thing they sent me!!

That looks awesome!  Great fabric!  I have a hard case for my machine too, but it's not as pretty as your fabric! 

Very Cute. I love the style and fabric. Great job.

I like it.  I keep meaning to make one because I also have one of those flimsy plastic covers.  But, I can never settle on the material!

That is really great, I love it!

I love your color combo and the idea of adding a pocket.  The fabric is so appropriate for the project too!

Here's mine I made about a year ago when I was just learning to cut patterns.  I used Heather Ross' garden gnome fabric from her Lightning Bugs collection.  I used the gnomes because I call my machine Gnomey (because it's a Janome and I love rhymes and/or alliteration).  I lined it with denim to make it nice and sturdy.

Those gnomes are great!  It's nice to see what someone else created for their machine.  And I totally understand about the rhyming/alliteration thing.  My college roommate drives her Jetta-- which she named Japetta.

There must be something in the air.  I've just finished a cover for my sewing machine in lovely cath kidston fabric.  Unfortunately I can't work out how to upload images on this site so if you want to take a peek you'll have to visit my blog at

I promise you wont be disappointed but you willbe entertained.

Nice!! I need one of these. Where did you get the original pattern you adapted? I, too, got my first sewing machine for Christmas.


edit to add: Comfort - your URL is typo'ed, just to give you a heads-up!

Japetta the Jetta--that's awesome!

Thank you to frosted treats for pointing out my error, I've now corrected the URL.

Frostedtreats, the original pattern came from the Spool fabric store blog: http://www.spoolsewing.com/blog/
