Just like a turtle has its shell, your sewing machine needs a cover! Not only does Carolyn Letten’s sleeve protect your machine from scratches, it’ll cheer up your deskspace, too, especially if you coordinate it with your craft room décor! Our designer chose haberdashery-inspired materials and a fresh colour palette of sky blue and spring yellow to sew this project, plus she’s added front pockets for extra storage space.
1 Download and print the templates. For the front pockets, cut royal blue floral fabric, 14cm x 22cm, blue swirl print, 7cm x 14cm, and pale blue floral, 14cm x 17cm.
