Happy Friday sweet friends. We have been experiencing a major ice storm all week long. But this Patchwork Sewing Machine Cover And Mat is oh so cozy!
Patchwork Sewing Machine Cover And Mat
This is the second project in the #APATCHWORKPROJECT series. It shares ideas on how to use up fabric scraps.
You can view the first project, a teapot cozy, HERE.
Simplicity 8532
For this project I used Simplicity 8532, view A. It was a fantastic pattern, perfect for a beginner.
I first created fabric pieces from vintage scraps that I have been hoarding collecting.
Patchwork is always a labor of love.
I sewed the edges of the 5″ x 5″ square first then joined them with long strips of cotton.
It was worth it though because now I have a one of a kind sewing machine cover.
It makes me so happy to see so many fabrics from previous projects coming together.
I even made patchwork ties.
Once the cover is open it doubles as a mat for your sewing machine. This protects your tabletop as well as the machine itself.

Love how your cute fabrics coordinate and that it is a cover and a pad too!
I have a Featherlite, too! I love the colors in the patchwork cover. My favorites! Because of your inspiration, I’m going to make patchwork curtains for a couple of rooms in this new-to-me house. I have so much sewing to do. I have the booklet for my machine, but I can’t get the stitch correct. I wish I had your talent and knowledge.
That’s incredibly cute!
