Tuesday Project Roundup: Matchy-Matchy

I finally made some matching machine covers for the Luxury Sewing Lair so now the decorating is all done.
Three covered sewing machines in a row on a long table.

Look at all those matching machines! I used the Closet Core free patternsĀ  for this but adjusted them for my machines: I cut the serger/coverstitch one down about an inch in width and two inches in height based on the last time I made it since it’s a little big for a Juki. And I had to add quite a bit of width/length for the sewing machine cover, since my 740 is about twice the size of a regular machine.


A sewing machine with a cover on it. The cover has a print of a Japanese pine tree in white and green on a dark teal background.

The fabric is from Spoonflower. I just guessed quantities and got a yard of their heavier sateen wideback. At 108″ I was just able to fit all three covers on there, but I didn’t have enough to make a table pocket for the back of the machine cover.

That 6.5 oz sateen is a nice substrate, though. Part of me wants to get more printed so I can have a pillow on the couch that matches the machine covers, but that might be getting a little TOO matchy-matchy.
