Cozy

Does your sewing machine collect dust? Do you find yourself having to clean it more often? Do you feel like all the dust bunnies in the neighborhood congregate at your house on your sewing machine? Why not create a sewing machine cozy?

I know, it seems my machine doesn't get turned off long enough these days to bother to cover it, but believe me when I say it is worth it to take time out and make a machine cozy. For example, did you know that you should clean your machine after every 8 hours of use? Now for me that's every day. With a cozy cover, it reduces at least some of those dust bunnies who love to gather around the top and sides. I still have to use the tiny hose and vacumn and clean my machine, probably more than most, but at least I'm not chasing dust every day. I made this one for my daughter and quilted it myself, but you can make them with pre-quilted fabric as well. The pockets are designed to hold whatever you want close at hand; scissors, etc., and the pattern is a simple one and soooooo easy to make. If you're interested in receiving this pattern, just place a comment and send me your email address and I'd be glad to send it on to you. I will try to put it into a PDF file so I can email the instructions. Think about how cozy your machine will feel if you wrap it in a quilt of its own. Wouldn't it be fun to coordinate your cozy with your sewing room? Ok, maybe everyone isn't as crazy as I am about coordinating everything, but you get the idea.
