See the frosted window behind my machines, that overlooks our rooftop, normally a sunshine filled, tree lined vista…its currently being ripped apart for construction work to replace rotten woodwork and replacement of the waterproof membrane. Mostly it’s messy and noisy which is fine the work has to be done, but it is leaving a fine smattering of dust all over my machines.
My sewing machine has a hard case but my overlocker only has the thin plastic cover that came with it when I bought it.
After wiping off yet another round of dust the other day I cut open the plastic cover, dove into my stash and found this Liberty print canvas. Then got to cutting.
Ten minutes later and I have a cover which naturally then sat unheemed for four days. I’ve just finished hemming it and BAM! new heavy duty cover ready to protect my overlocker from the construction work on the roof.
Pattern: made from exisiting cover
Fabric: Liberty canvas from The Fabric Store
Alterations: Maybe add a bottom section so the entire machine is encased? See how the dust goes and do that then?
