When I was looking to make a new sewing machine cover I couldn't decide on a single fabric, so I quilted one instead to incorporate more fabrics!All you need to make this cover is five fat quarters, coordinating thread, and a rotary cutter and mat (can be made with fabric scissors instead).
Here is my set up, I thought the turquoise and purples looked cute together so I was able to grab some that looked nice and were on sale!
With fat quarters if they are pre-bundled you want to make sure you iron them well. For quilting if you cut fabric with a crease it will mess up your entire pattern. Though it seems like a hassle ironing is worth the time.
I cut the fat quarters into five inch wide strips, and then cut 5in x 5in squares from that.
After I cut out the squares, I cut each square in half to make a triangle.
After I finished cutting the triangles out I was able to assemble the "quilt top". I sewed together the triangles to make squares again (mixing up colors), then I made on long strip of eleven squares (one square consists of two triangle). Then I created two three square by five square rectangles. The rectangles are meant to cover the front and back of the machine. You can easily line this quilt top: however i did not on mine due to how hot my machine gets sometimes. PS sorry I forgot to take photos of the assembly process!
