Here is my weekend project, a Featherweight sewing machine cover:
I made it from some vintage cotton scrap fabric that my husband's mother's friend gave me when they were downsizing from their home. The woman is since deceased, and as I worked on my sewing machine cover, I thought of her, and wondered what she had used this fabric for at one time. It's a patchwork pattern--not actually pieced, but printed so that it appears to be quilted. I used someone's tutorial pattern, but didn't follow the tutorial because I'm more of a "learn by doing" sewing person as opposed to one who learns visually. Thus I end up putting in seams and ripping them out until I get it right! SLOW learner could be more appropriate in describing me!
I also lined this little piece, with some yellow cotton fabric that was also from Mother-in-law's friend. So basically, I got all this for free! Yea! Thank you, Mrs. Neal.
If you would like to see what else I worked on this weekend--this project for a needlework repair customer--check out www.collector-repair-services.com where I have my website. Unfortunately it's a Wordpress site and therefore not very compatible with Blogger. But you can definitely just type in the website and check out my latest posts over there.
Thanks for viewing!
