I promised you a fun and practical tutorial, and I think this one checks off both of those boxes perfectly! In our new house, my studio is off to the left as soon as you walk in the front door. I would love to put in French doors so that I can close it off, but for now, I have to keep it neat and clean … at least while I’m not sewing or when we’re expecting company. Having a pretty cover for my machine helps a ton! When I can squeeze in the time, I’m planning to make one for my serger, too.
Of course, a machine cover also helps keep your machine clean and safe from little fingers and curious pet paws. I designed this one with some simple piecing so that you can show off a favorite fabric collection, and I made it with a reversible option, in case you can’t decide which fabric collection is your favorite!
The free pattern doesn’t actually include a “pattern”. Instead, I’ve included detailed and illustrated instructions for how to measure your machine to get a custom fit.
The fabric requirements will vary a bit according to the measurements of your machine, but my giant Kenmore used 8 fat quarters, 12 charm squares and 1 yard of Pellon 987F fusible fleece. I used different fabrics on every side of my cover. If you wanted to stick with one fabric plus the charm squares, 3/4 yard of two different fabrics would work. If you want to skip the reversible option, you can divide those fabric requirements in half.

Hi! Is the tutorial for this still available? It doesn’t appear to be on Craftsy anymore. Thanks!
I love the look of this sewing machine cover. But when I click on the link, it is no longer at Craftsy.
Can you please send me the instructions for this well-fitting cover?
