Priscilla & Ray: Bound By Pain©

hi everyone      
This will be my first fiction book that will be available on kindle/Amazon soon after its complete.                                                                                                   I've always been a fan of fiction, fantasy and sci-fi literature, and writing is also another one of my many talents. I've been penning✏ short stories, poems, and songs for years, I believe its therapeutic. One great story can change the world🌎. So i hope you can read the short summary/blurb of my book   above                                           follow me on instagram @ladynemesis777   Twitter @MandyGibson777

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!



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




stay tuned for more
