I love this pattern and it might be for the fabrics...lol! I just LOVE Fig Tree fabric! But this pattern is very cool! Especially the pincushion is sooo charming! And the cover doens't look too difficult. Will it come in the shop aswell later on? I hop I will be the winner but he lets be realistic...there can only be one winner! Thanks for your work! I love it all! Marianna in Holland

Whow, Cheryl!! Your machine cover is beautiful. No, more than that : it is wonderful!
I have already bought "roses" pink and sweet green materials for monthes to do a cover adapted to my 30 years old Singer. Nothing began until today. Maybe your pattern can help me...
Have a nice day,

The sewing machine has never looked as beautiful as it does made with your cover. I think it looks good enough to leave on the table when company comes over.

cheryl, where do you find the time to be so creative? very, very pretty! what's the purpose of the mat? won't the machine slip around if it sitting on one?
