I am so excited and honored to be here at Beth's place! Isn't she great?! I have a super simple tutorial to share with you crafters today,but first let me tell you a little bit about my self! I love to create!
Whether its scrap booking, sewing, using mod podge, really anything.
Making things for my family and friends is so rewarding!
Now...onto the tutorial! I posted this tutorial a little while ago and it was my
highest viewed tutorial so I thought this would be perfect to show you all!
If you are new to sewing this is a PERFECT project for you! This tutorial is so simple!
If you are a more advanced sewer this tutorial is great for you too---
sometimes it's nice to be able to go back to the "basics".
Something simple = Happy crafter.
If you have a sewing machine, you can definitely use one of these. Not only can a cover add style and color to your room, but it is also somewhat of an necessity. The cover helps keep dust and particles away from your sewing machines parts when it's not being used.
Materials:
Fabric
Ribbon
Measure your Sewing Machine from the front side, over the top, and down the back side. My sewing machine measured 25 inches.
Measure the width of your sewing machine from side to side.
My machine measured 15 inches. ( No Picture)
Since we will be using a 1/2 seam allowance, I added 1 inch to my measurements.
My new measurement was 26 in. x 16 in.
Cut out your piece of fabric matching the size of your machine.
(I cut my piece on the fold of the fabric so I only needed to cut it as a 13 in. x 16 in. piece. If you decide to not cut on the fold, just cut out a piece of fabric matching your measurements.)
I wanted a contrasting band on my cover. If you don't want one then skip these next few steps.
Cut a strip of contrasting fabric the width you desire. I made mine 4 1/2 inches ( Finished it will be 4 inches because of the 1/2 inch seam allowance) Make sure the length of your strip is as long as your cover if not more, you can always trim off the excess.
Sew down both sides of your band, getting as close to the edge as possible.
My pieces were about 13 1/2 inches, long enough to be able to tie the ribbons in a bow.
Starting with the long sides of your cover. Fold over 1/4 inch and repeat. This will allow you to have a finished edge. Once you have folded the edge over twice, sew down the length of it.
Place one end of your ribbon 7 inches away from the bottom. Do this for all 4 ribbons. ( You should have 2 ribbons on one side and 2 on the other, both 7 inches away from the bottom)
Make sure you back stitch over it.
Fold over your bottom edges 1/4 inch, repeat and sew.
Add some Rolled Fabric Flowers --Found (HERE) or whatever else you would like and your finished!!
