A new sewing machine cozy!

My machine seldom goes unused for more then just over night. But, every once in a while it sits for a few days at a time.  I decided that Miss Ellie needed a pretty cozy for just those occasions.

I dug into my scraps and found just the ones I wanted to use.  I also decided to do something I had never done before.....keep reading.





I used every decorative stitch (that I liked) on my sewing machine!  I have never used decorative stitches for anything before.  It was fun.  Some I will use again and others not so much.  This cozy fits best with the table off.  More fun color and brightness added to my sewing cave!

    Really cute, Vicki! I like your opening at the sides too. I try and use some of my fancy stitches, but they don't get out often. This was a great way to sample a whole bunch. Nice!

    A lovely cover to keep the 'night dust' off Ellie the Elna! It's fun using those decorative stitches for a project like this!

    So pretty! And with all the decorative stitches on display, it'll be easier to remember you have them and use them on future projects.

    I love all the fabric choices. I'm partial to scrappy projects.
