Last year I joined in with just about every second blogger and did this stitchery block of the month. I had it all together,I even had quilted it and was ready to put on the binding. Then I decided I would change it. I put it away for several months then started unpicking it back in May. Then it went back into the cupboard. Recently I finally decided I needed a Sewing Machine Cover. 
I used the plastic cover that came with the machine as a template. I lined the cover with calico that I had on hand. This was also recycled from something as well.I put a pocket on each end to hold things. I used up some of the borders from the original design and put these in the pockets and along the front and back.
This is the back of the cover. I also lined up the split in the top of the cover to allow me to carry the machine around with the cover on it. I used bias binding for this sewing on the top layer then folding it underneath to the calico lining,thus holding it all together. I used up all the blocks except for one. This will be made into a pot holder I think because it was the one saying something about "quick and easy cooking".
After all this procrastination I think I deserve a cup of tea.
Happy sewing
