My Glam Sewing Machine Cover

12/26/13

An Amantra original:
I'm going to give my sewing machine Big Bertha a  beauty makeover with  a new slipcover!

 This is my first attempt at creating  one a while back. It's made of red satin fabric, it was improperly measured and the stitching is horrid!
What you have here is the pattern for my new slipcover, something I didn't have working on the first one.

 When  I began doing research a while back about applied arts, home decor, and learning how to sew, I came across  some information that talked about the importance of a sewing machine slip cover. It's used to protect your machine over time from dust and lent particles, and extend the longevity of it's function. I thought this would be a good, semi-simple project to tackle for practice. beginner's can surely achieve the same results by following the instructions on this blog post!

⦁    Super fabric glue
⦁    Dimensional sticker rhinestones
⦁    Black felt fabric
⦁    Light pink home decor fabric
⦁    Soft cotton flower printed fabric
⦁    Gold sequins
⦁    Slip cover patter
⦁    Muslin or white thin fabric (bed sheet)
 

I create my own patterns, and here my slip cover one, i use plain white old bed sheet as substitute for muslin fabric during the construction/ fitting part.

Sewing machine length = 11 inches

Sewing machine height = 14 inches
Make sure to iron the patterns before using the "INTENDED" fabric.
I cut out the patterns and assembled the parts for sewing, but embellish the fabric with rhinestones before sewing.

 * press as you go*
I hand sewed gold sequins to black felt fabric in shape of "A" and "C" to stand for Amantra's Couture and added matching ruffle trim to bottom

......And the finished product
