What’s the Project? Give your sewing machine a little protection—and make it look good while you’re at it. These sewing machine cover patterns and tutorials include quick and easy covers, quilted options, patchwork designs, and clever ideas for using fabric and leftover quilt blocks from your stash.
Sewing Machine Cover Patterns and Tutorials
Our sewing machines spend a lot of time sitting out in the sewing room, so they might as well look cute while they’re waiting for us.
A fabric sewing machine cover helps keep dust, lint, and all those little sewing-room floaties off your machine. And unlike the plastic cover that may have come with your machine, you can make one that actually fits the personality of your sewing space.
These are also a great stash project. Use leftover quilt blocks, favorite fabrics, scraps, or even a placemat or table runner you aren’t using anymore. Add pockets, quilt the fabric, keep it super simple—there’s plenty of room to make it your own.
