meg Posted January 15, 2012 Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 hi friends... am i the only one who hasn't done this yet? i probably am. for 12 years, i have been saying i want to find the time to make pj's for my berninas. for 2+ years, i have been saying i want to find the time to make them for lola-baby. bernie, nina AND lola-baby are still sleeping naked. :mad: this morning, while i was swimming thru the abyss that is my google reader, i came upon this great little tute for making said covers. AND she even gives the formula for making it for ANY size machine. i'm sharing the tute in the hopes of adding some peer pressure that will spur me into action. i mean, how nice would it be to come down the stairs and see both my girls all snug in some colorful jammies? so, here's the link! have a great day everybody!!! http://patches.typepad.com/notes_from_the_patch/2010/11/tutorial-tuesday-32-sewing-machine-cozy.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delld Posted January 15, 2012 Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 Thanks!!!! I need to do this also!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quietlifeaz Posted January 15, 2012 Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 I am right there with you...the practice piece "blanket" Eliza Jane wears is functional but not very "cute"...she never complains, but she deserves so much better. (Nina (my bernina) has a canvas cover that she came with so she has been snug as a rug for 20 years -- I think I hear her snicker every time Eliza gets the blanket treatment ---she is still a bit jealous you know).

chrisquilter Posted January 15, 2012 Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 This is my sunday morning laugh you guys! But it got me to thinking, maybe I should make a cover for my machine. MMMM something with horses on it. Then when I round the corner into the studio, I won't immediately be thinking StarWars machine gun! Doesn't the milli look like that?

Mrs.A Posted January 15, 2012 Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 Thanks for posting the link...it looks like a really good tutorial! Our quilt show is this coming weekend so once I get through that, a new cover for George will be part of my studio spring cleaning event!

Pam H Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 I have wanted to make one since I got Rosie, she gets cold at night. Now I can do it. Yea! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shelleywa Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 My Millie will be complaining to the LA union soon , because it seems like all your machines have top notch covers made from the best fabric money can buy. Millie has to put up with a giant plastic bag that came off a roll of batting! But at least it keeps her dust free! I've got flat roof on my sewing room and I always think about preventing water getting onto my millie should the roof leak- plastic seemed to be the answer! Sometimes I put a small quilt on top of the plastic just to make her look prettier! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heritage Keepsakes Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 I am full of shame! My Bernina sleeps in an old sheet. Thanks for the post. Time to get the old girl into some decent coverings. When we have all made new threads for our machines, let's post pictures to see how snappy dressed they all are!!:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
