Materials

Fabric:
- for the body, 1 piece measuring (B + B + C) x (A + 2 cm/3/4 inch)
  ! - For example, for a sewing machine measuring 40 cm (15-3/4 inches) in width x 30 cm (1 ft) in height x 20 cm (7-3/4 inches) in depth, the fabric will measure 80 x 42 cm (31-3/4 x 16-1/2 inches).
- for the sides, 2 pieces measuring (B + 1 cm/3/8 inch) x (C + 2 cm/3/4 inch)
Bias tape

Directions

Prepare the fabric for the sewing machine cover

In the fabric for the body, on the wrong side, measure and mark the middle of one of the longest sides with a fabric pencil.
Measure half of length C on each side of the central point and mark with a fabric pencil.

Fold the fabric in 3 sections, folding at each of the 2 outside marks.
Iron along these 2 folds to mark them well.
Pin the 2 side pieces of fabric to the folded body piece, right sides facing inside.

Assemble the sewing machine cover

Sew it all together.

Turn right side out.
Sew bias tape on at all the edges.

Variations

Sew a pocket on the outside of the cover.
If the sewing machine has a handle, cut a slit for it and sew bias tape around the border of the slit to finish it.
