Pillowcase Sewing Machine Cover Tutorial and Giveaway

I love projects that start with a pillowcase. I feel like I am starting off half-done. I fell in love with Brenda's sewing machine cover made from a pillowcase. I saw more examples of her cute covers and knew I wanted to make one. I asked Brenda for a tutorial and she agreed!

The following tutorial is by Brenda of JaLaRu Blog and JaLaRu Shop.

Sewing Machine Cover from a Pillowcase Tutorial

Start by picking a pillowcase you like. I like the ones that have borders.

The finished size should be 24.5" long and 18.5" wide. On this pillowcase I trimmed 5.5" inches from the top. (This will depend on the size of your pillowcase.

Then trimmed 3" off the side.

Turn inside out and sew .5" seam across the top and down the side. Then trim the corner. Turn inside out and press.

I found some embroidery pieces from an old dresser scarf and cut out each individual one. Position and zig zag stitch around all the edges.

Here's a close up.

Cut 4 pieces of ribbon 9.5" long. Measure down from the top 6" and measure bottom up 6". Then sew the ribbon on the back side of the pillowcase. (Two on each side of the pillowcase.)

It should look something like this when you finish.

Tie ribbons in a bow and you have a sewing machine cover.

Brenda is so generous. She is offering her sewing machine cover to one lucky Vintage Sheet Blog reader. :)
