I finished up a couple more voile scarves, and decided I needed to make something for myself with this lovely fabric. Determined to use only the scraps I already had, I sketched out this sewing machine cover.
I used Amanda Jean's no triangle method for the zigzags. No problem. Then I chose to pair the voile with linen and set the zigzags on the bias. If you're more experienced with these materials than I am, you know those were likely two big mistakes. With some hair pulling and frustration over wavy edges and stretching materials, it came together fine in the end. Let's just say it's a good thing this drapes over a machine and doesn't need to lay flat! Lessons learned.

It's fabulous! You did a great job, the design is fantastic.
this looks amazing. ive been wanting to make both a patchwork sewing machine cover and use amanda's zigzag method. definitely gonna have to try this.
I've never understood the point of a machine cover. My machine never sat still long enough to warrant a cover. But, you know, since we moved into our new place and my toddler has discovered the knobs on my machine, I've constantly been telling myself I need to make one!!
Thanks for posting this... it's the first one I've really liked. I'm *so* copying you. ;)
very pretty! I'm bad at using my machine cover. It's just the plain one that came with the machine. Maybe if I made myself a pretty one I'd use it more. lol
It's pretty! I have yet to try zigzag patchwork but it's been on my list for a while.
