Reversible Sewing Machine Cover

My first ever sewing machine cover!  Whoohoo!  I've been quilting since 2001 and using my Bernina since 2005 when I started using my daughter's homemade prom wrap to throw over my machine while it slept.  Anyway, here it is!  Along with a little bag made out of my precious, out-of-print Pat Sloan selvedge fabric hidden in my stash!  I only had a limited amount left now.  Gosh!  I wish they'd reprint this beautiful fabric!

I'm adding the links here to these two projects.  First, the bag is from American Patchwork & Quilting.  They posted a link to it on facebook.  It's called Grab Bag.  And, then, there's the cool sewing machine cover pattern, Bernina Reversible Sewing Machine Cover.  I made some improvements (wink!)  First, I wanted mine just a tad bit bigger (I think I went little overboard here) so I added an additional half inch to allow for any shrinkage because I haven't washed any of this fabric.  But, it is quite roomie.  Too roomie.  Then, I had to quilt some, right.  Very minimal quilting in the selvedge fabric area.

And, what I'm calling Zen Flower quilting!  Very time consuming but, I've always wanted to try to quilt flowers around those dots and today I did it!  I like it!

I hope you've enjoyed my little blog about what I made from two links I found on facebook over the past couple of days.  My bag is packed and my machine is covered.  Today, I'm hoping to make aprons.  I'll have to write another blog.  Happy Sewing!
