What do you think Jenny? Last night I went to bed thinking how can I put together a quick cover for my machine to enter your giveaway and this morning the idea popped into my head the minute I woke up.Use a pair of those jeans you have stashed away was my thought. Who doesn't like jeans (even my sewing machine could use a nice fitting pair). I have this large stash of jeans that I try to recycle, so I went right to it and picked out a pair of jeans I thought would make a cute cover.
I cut the legs off, cut out a piece to cover the top inside the waist band, added some trim to the bottom and embroidered "Love 2 Sew" on the bottom. The pockets in the front and back add storage for scissors, bobbins, etc.
I took pictures along the way and I'm going to put a tutorial together. When I finished I thought this is a quick and easy way to turn those old jeans into a cute skirt too.
Thanks for the challenge. I now have a machine cover for my Brother C-6000.
Check out the post below for more info on the challenge and giveaway - it ends 8/31.

I always love the clever ways jeans are recreated. I'd have never thought of using them for a machine cover. Brilliant! "One Day" I hope to have a go at making a denim quilt.
ReplyDeleteNow that's very clever! I love it!
