I have finally finished my sewing machine cover for the "August Sewing Machine Cover Challenge" from Jenny of Elefantz. It's not the most beautiful in the world. It is a bit rough and ready, , and it goes with the native environment, and it will keep the machine dust free and clean. I have also used material that I have had for about 15 years, and only found it the other day when I was looking for my Overlocker (in the shed) - I hadn't seen that for about 10 years. The appliqué came from a set of placemats that have never been used, and would have been thrown out if I hadn't started quilting. Anyway, the cover is now finished, and the Overlocker feels loved again - she is going for a service in November when the technician comes to town. I will be able to make her feel useful again after that.Blessings to all

Hi Magy, can't find your blog, so am replying here (so you probably won't get it. I do hope you return to check my page. The animals on the cover are the Tasmanian Tiger (extinct) and the Tasmanian Devil. I like both of these animals. On the back is a Kookaburra - gives good karma in times of sewing.
Blessings
Your cover has turned out really well. Hasn't the challenge been good to encourage us to get out our fabrics and make something both practical and decorative.
Well done Ellice! You've used what you had and your overlocker is now nicely protected :)All the best in the draw!
