There are some very good tutorials out there on YouTube and it is interesting to see how different people make the same item sometimes. My girl needed a quick and fairly easy way to make a machine cover while the girls were having a snooze or were in bed at night so that tutorial was really good for her.

Mine are plain by comparison, but I'm happy with them :-) Your daughter sewing machine cover is charming! I also found the tutorial for mine on You Tube, after going through craft mags and finding all their instructions too complicated for me. I've taught myself a few things via You Tube! What did we do without the internet...spent more time crafting, lol!Gina E.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07532527261977368083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1556636739806282968.post-55580504278967542262013-10-06T20:44:26.386+10:002013-10-06T20:44:26.386+10:00Deb, it matches her notice board that she made whi...Deb, it matches her notice board that she made which is behind the sewing machine. I must try and find some more at Spotlight as it is certainly very pretty. Actually I found a new fabric shop in town today so might check that out too. Then again..maybe I will use up my fabric stash. :-)Nanna Chelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07500527266771727074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1556636739806282968.post-74191128587876169522013-10-06T20:43:04.961+10:002013-10-06T20:43:04.961+10:00Yes give it a go.

My girl isn't an expert sewer ...neither is her mother...but it was fairly easy to sew just as long as you leave enough room in your measurements for a bit of trial and error.Nanna Chelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07500527266771727074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1556636739806282968.post-11618652741335699952013-10-06T20:41:45.490+10:002013-10-06T20:41:45.490+10:00Now you know I am going to have to do a Google sea...Now you know I am going to have to do a Google search for 'Cath Kidston'.

I think I bought that fabric for my girl from Spotlight at some stage. Fabric is very expensive in Mt.Isa and I think it is only available from one shop. There are no Spotlight or Lincraft stores up there.

Thanks for the link to the tute - I think I will enjoy making one of these. Sadly however, I don't have the yo-yo production team available lol.

However, a toaster cover sounds great. I wonder if hubby could cope with removing a cover before using the toaster though. :-)Nanna Chelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07500527266771727074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1556636739806282968.post-25807796946405222982013-10-05T10:45:32.776+10:002013-10-05T10:45:32.776+10:00Tania, I am sure you would have no trouble.

Just cut your fabric a bit longer than you think you might need to in case it ends up being a bit 'crooked' after you have done the sides and then you can just even it off to make it look tidy.Nanna Chelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07500527266771727074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1556636739806282968.post-75788195984011939832013-10-05T10:44:26.214+10:002013-10-05T10:44:26.214+10:00Elablue, it wasn't as easy as it looked or sho...Elablue, it wasn't as easy as it looked or should I say it was just a bit fiddly getting the sides tidy. If you look at the video carefully you can see that Vanessa has stopped the camera when she was doing the sides so I think it look a bit longer to get 'tidy' then it seemed to. Still, it is a lot easier to make the cover this way than some other tutorials I saw on YouTube.Nanna Chelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07500527266771727074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1556636739806282968.post-35674849117430122182013-10-05T10:35:43.876+10:002013-10-05T10:35:43.876+10:00Very cute!
