Dress Your Sewing Machine

March 11, 2017

Everyone likes to dress up, right?  So why shouldn’t your trusty sewing machine join in the fun? I’ve recently spotted a blog post which provides a pattern and instructions to do just that.  I’m sure you’ll agree from the photo above that this is a really pretty design, with a well chosen fabric and lots of added detail.

Not only is this visually attractive but there is has a practical aspect too, as the cover protects your machine from dust and helps keep it as good as new.  And as you’ll see from the post, some rows of decorative stiches are included to remind you of all possibilities you may wish to incorporate into future projects.

Check out the full article and have a go at the project yourself by clicking here.

2. A Quilted Garden

Not actual quilting as such, but a gorgeous representation in garden form.  Wish my garden was as well behaved!

3. So True …

but I wouldn’t object to Michelangelo painting anything for me!

Asking a #seamstress to mend is like asking Michelangelo to paint your garage.
