Sewing machine cover

I've been meaning to make a sewing machine cover for ages. Last weekend I learned how to take care of my machine, and felt inspired to finally protect it more from dust. I found one liked, http://patches.typepad.com/notes_from_the_patch/2010/11/tutorial-tuesday-32-sewing-machine-cozy.html, and then even did the math on the pattern worksheet to plan it out. I found some instructions to help me cut a hole for the handle, http://thepatchsmith.blogspot.com/2015/01/across-pond-sewing-machine-cover.html. It has pockets for my foot and cords, which is awesome.

Things I learned on this project: I do not like quilting. This was a hot mess of nothing being lined up, but for the most part I'm the only one who will ever know. :-) Also bias tape hems are awesome.
