Patchwork Sewing Machine Cover Pattern

This cover is designed to slip over the machine, with an open bottom and no closures, so it can easily be taken on and off.

Measurements
Every sewing machine is slightly different, so this pattern is custom-sized.
Measure your machine:

To thes measures, you should add 1 cm of seam allowance, and you can also add 2–3 cm ease to each measurement so the cover slips on comfortably.
