Mooloo, if you decide to make a cover, I learnt one big lesson - the two end pieces are not the same size! I had to do some adjustments to compensate.

Good luck!

Looks great! How did you do the handle opening - was it difficult? I bought a machine from Tesco for card making - don't like to stitch on card with my other machines - came in a huge box/no cover. I made a quick cover but just did an over all one - no handle opening. I don't shift it about much here but may think of making a second cover for when I take the machine with me to family.

Love the bunny pennib and the machine cover is brilliant cuddles, well done boh of you :T:T

I need to get a cover mad for mine too, but need to wait 'til I get back to my room. DS1 isn't off until tomorrow now, so my move back into the craft room has been delayed Still, I have done some knitting, cleaning and cooking today, so more time to sew when I get in there! :j

This is the tutorial I used for the handle opening. It worked quite well I think.

Hi

Not been on my machine since last weekend, back to work last week and boy, it was a busy week!!! I really need to organise my time better. Today is mostly going to be spent fixing clothes, we have a few 'holes' that I need to sew up on perfectly good clothes and then I am going to see what I would like to do for my next project. Next birthday is in April so I do have some time but I just love what hmo has done above for handcream, I think I am going to adpat that idea for mothers day...thankyou hmo for posting :-)

.....off for a toddle around the internet for inspiration! have a great sunday people!

Jo xx
