My mom got me a serger for Christmas last year and, so far, it’s been amazing. However, it didn’t come with any kind of cover and I noticed today that it was looking pretty dusty. So I made a cover for it out of two placemats and two cloth napkins that I found on clearance at Target.
Unlike my regular sewing machine that is a nice uniform rectangle, my serger has all sorts of wonky corners and whatnot jutting out of it. I wanted the cover to be as streamlined as possible so I opted for a rectangular front and back and trapezoids for the sides.
I also created an opening in the top for the handle since I’m constantly moving it to make way for other projects.
Adorable! I've been thinking about making a cover for my sewing machine. It has a plastic one but it's so obtrusive I never use it.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! Great job!
ReplyDeleteI have a tablecloth in the "side" parttern. Are the front and back the napkins?
ReplyDeleteI love the pattern and it looks great!
Katie,
ReplyDeleteI also have that tablecloth! The front and back are placemats that were part of the same pattern. I used placemats because they are sturdier and gave the cover more shape.
Great idea!
ReplyDeleteLet's see....my serger is probably about 20 years old. Time to make it a cover.
This cover is awesome! I just got a serger at the thrift store and it needs a cover.
