Here’s a close-up view of my most recent finish. Fabric: Ruby…just love it! Half-square triangles previously seen here. What is it?
Introducing “Just Swell!” I have needed to make a cover for my Janome for quite a while…it’s actually been on the “to-do” list for a couple of years. When I saw Camille’s cute sewing machine cover at market I knew I had to make one.
I did all the straight line quilting exactly as suggested in the pattern. My machine is taller and wider than Camille’s, but the pattern has a simple formula for making the cover fit your machine–the math worked out perfectly. The only thing I might have done differently would be to make the ties about an inch longer than suggested–since my machine was a bit wider I think I needed longer ties (but you can see from the photo above that I was still able to tie a cute bow on each side).
And finally…for the winner of my Sew, Mama, Sew Giveaway…wow–there were 708 comments! Thanks so much to everyone who entered and shared their thoughts on favorite fabrics! Congratulations Dawn…I’ve sent you an e-mail…and as soon as I get your mailing address a box of goodies will be on it’s way to you! Have a great rest of the weekend everyone!
