Mom and I made this sewing machine cover for my Kenmore 15408.
machine cover
I brought my machine to Ohio so that we could sew. Mom and I agreed that I needed a cover for it, especially if I am going to be transporting it for my sewing circle. The machine has a handle and we created a bag with overlapping flaps that the handle of the machine fits through.
I bought this fabric from Jo-Ann’s with the gift card that I received from the Sullivans.

We definitely “winged” this project. Mom made some measurements and cut some rectangles.

We both received our Kenmores as Christmas presents. Mom got hers from my dad on their first Christmas as a married couple. Mom bought mine for me for Christmas the year before Brendan and I got married.
Mom did most of the sewing; I did the finishing touches.

The cover design is really quite clever.
1. Place machine in bag:

2. Fold over flap, inserting handle through the super-long buttonhole:

3. Fold over opposite flap, inserting handle through buttonhole again:

4. Zip up the sides:

Notice the darts on the side to keep it from gaping open.
5. Button it up to keep the flap down:

It’s so cute! I didn’t really write up a tutorial since every sewing machine is different in dimensions. It’s a basic box bag design and took a little bit of trial and error. Mom and I just brainstormed and kept our seam ripper handy. 
I sewed the pocket, side darts, buttonholes, and buttons.
I'm having fun!
I can’t wait to travel in style.
Love,
