Sewing Machine Cover

Well, after we moved...my "sewing room" moved down to the basement in the corner of the TV room. Luckily, the room is large and there is a little nook in the corner for me to put my sewing desk and craft/cutting table. However, I either have to cover my machine or put it away after *every* use because of a rascally little 2 year old who likes to push buttons.

So I decided to take the plunge into sewing a cover for my machine. After measuring the machine, I decided to modify the pattern a bit. This was my first time trying to modify a patter and I only had to re-cut twice. After all the modifying, I finally got all the right pieces cut out. Then I realized that I was supposed to use fusible fleece....which is not what I bought and just cut out. I decided to go for it anyway and just be careful!

After I got the whole thing sewn....I put it over my machine...and it's about 2 inches too TALL. OH No! Well, you can't tell from the pictures that I messed it up. The first picture shows it as I just tucked that little extra bit under and placed it over my machine. At least it works. It keeps the mini-fingers away from "buttons! push buttons!!" The last picture shows it full-size...pretty tall!

Now for my 7 year olds mini-sewing machine.....
Do I make a matching cover? Do I dare try to modify that pattern to be smaller? Hmm...maybe for now we'll just have to put that one up after using.
