How to Make Your Own Custom Sewing Machine Cover 

I really like her videos because she doesn't waste time gabbing and talking about irrelevant things and processes. Her instructions are clear and easy to understand. So many videos on RU-vid should be much shorter in length if the hostess was prepared in advance and the videos edited to delete the wasted time and mistakes.

The clear precise instructions are wonderful. So many others repeat the same instruction over and over or just waffle on using the wrong terminology. I come to Laura first every time for tutorials. 5 Star all the way!

I love the versitality of your tutorials to make custom fitting covers. Thank you so much for great information.

I agree Laura is a born teacher and her voice is so soothing. I am very voice sensitive and she speaks eloquently and to the point. Again, like others have said, no time is wasted in her videos.

This is so beautiful! 😍 The colors, the stitched trim bow addition that matches your fabric...and red and black- two of my favorites! Thanks for all your videos, perfect for us beginners, to inspire and teach us! Blessings!

Thank you Laura, I am a beginner sewer and made a beautiful cover for my sewing machine with your instructions. I used beautiful remnants of green fabric that were in the discount bin at Spotlight. Even my husband was impressed. Thank you so much for your sensible clear and informative teaching style.

Laura, Thank you very much, I just made the “perfect” cover for my sewing machine with birdhouses and pastel colored birds. Your instructions and demonstration were easy to understand! I enjoyed this project so much. Thanks again, Angela :-)

I made a cover following your tutorial for my Singer 301 case. I added straps to help protect the handle on the lid. I entered it in my guild's Quilt Show and won Best of Potpourri category! Thank you for great tutorials.

Thank you. Very clear. Have revisited this video a number of times and I’m now nearly there. You are very inspiring Laura.

This video is amazing, and I too followed the tutorial and made my custom cover. It turned out just like I wanted it. Thank you so much Laura! 😊

Finally got around to making a cover for my serger and your channel was the first I looked to for help. This was great and your fabric choices are so cute. Mine are not quite as pretty but it works in my sewing room and it came out great. Now I am ready to make one for my sewing machine. Thank you Laura, great lesson as always!

Very Clever! I love your instructions. Clear and slow speaking make it easy to follow. Thank you Laura! You’re one of the best teachers😘

I watched a few tutorials on making a machine cover and felt yours was the most professional looking. Thank you. Loving mine

Thank you, best idea for the template. Love your voice and your teaching. Love your little singer it’s so cute.

great project, I always find your instructions clear. Love the cover!

You are a very good Teacher. Your voice is very pleasing. For me that helps to follow along easier. Love your Feather weight singer machine. Thank you

Your tutorials are so easy to follow! Thanks for taking the time to share your expertise. :)

Fun project. I really like the use of foam. Thank you for such an exacting method for a perfect fit

Wonderful, and you use the most BEAUTIFUL fabrics & designs. one of RU-vid best sewist! Thanks for posting!!!!

Finally time to get rid of my plastic ones! Excellent video thank you. I'm a visual learner and your videos have helped me tremendously!

I just finished sewing this cover and it looks awesome. The hardest part was trusting my pattern but once I decided to get over the fear and cut the pieces out it all came together nicely. Thanks - Awesome Tutorial.

Thank you Laura. Finally a sewing machine cover that I want to make!!! I now feel confident that I know what I am doing. I love using foam and will definitely be using it. Now my biggest problem is finding a box big enough. LOL.

Great idea and so glad I stopped here! Thank you, love your fabrics.

What a wonderful tutorial! Thank you, Laura!!! I'm going to jump right into this project... this very second👍😃

Excellent! Finally made covers for my two sewing machines and serger with the help of your video! 😍

Love this cover Laura ! Those materials are great. Something I maybe should do but probably wont. Love your tutorials, thankyou for sharing.

Thank you, I have followed your measuring instructions to make a serger cover, I keep checking in to make sure I am following correctly making up the cover. So far so good. Thank you again.

Laura, what a great way to make covers for any machine. I have been struggling to get good covers for my different machines and now I can do it. Thank you so much. Janet

I'm so amazed ! It's been a few weeks that I've been watching your videos, from France, and I love them ! You are a great teacher and your projects are so beautiful. I was planning on making a cover for my kitchenaid mixer and you have inspired me ! I'll take my time to try and make something as beautiful as you did for your sewing machine. Thank you so much for sharing ! I am looking forward to starting that project !

Thank u. I've been wanting to make matching pretty covers for my sewing machine, embroidery machine, overlocker and cricut. I've done my first for the embroidery machine and so happy with the outcome. Thanks for making it so easy 🩷🩷🩷🩵🩵🩵

Thank You Laura !! I just love your videos so much . You are a wonderful teacher also I love your taste in the fabric you choose! So beautiful just like you! Thanks again, Tammy From Baltimore, Md

Hi Laura, I found your videos and love the instructions you give. Thank you for the great ways you teach about making great items that are so useful, Sandie

I love how you simplify creating the pattern. I have always improvised in the same way. Love this machine cover, going to make this today! Thank you so much!

That is an amazing tutorial. Just bought my machine so inspired to make a cover now, though I'm a begginer I think I will be able to do it. Love from Dubai

Beautiful covers! Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful projects with us. You are Über talented!

This is a very well done tutorial. I was looking for something a little more basic, just something to cover the machine to keep the dust off, but your tutorial gave me an idea of how to do that. Thank you!

wow amazing,i love this,love how you teach us the rules of quilting,batting,sewing ,i'm tunisian from france and i like to follow you,i don't understand all english talking but it's easy to understand you,and you have many ways to sew,i love to learn with you ,thank you :)

Hi Laura, thanks so much for this tutorial. I have been working on mine this past week and completed it yesterday. I only wish we could all share photos so you would be able to see what everyone has done with your wonderful instructions.

I have watched a number of YT videos on sewing machine covers; only one came even close to being as good as yours! The reason yours stands out as THE BEST is how you showed us how to make the cardboard box template, how to make the measurements for whatever size machine one is covering, and then the way you sewed the binding - yow-sah! I want to cover my sewing machines and kitchen appliances using these ideas. Of course I love the fabric selections with coordination and contrast. I don't have an embroidery machine, but can use the idea of a decorative stitch. Thanks, Laura.

Awesome, and as always, very easy to follow. You have a gift for teaching.

You are extremely inspiring! Your work is beautiful! Thank-you.

Hi Laura, You are such a talented lady. It is such a joy and education to watch your videos. I have recently moved house from Ontario to Alberta and miss my quilting friends. Please know you have given me the push and encouragement I needed to get busy in my sewing room and Use up some of my stash. Thank you so much. Joan

Not only functional but beautiful! Great explanation too Laura!

I listen to you every day! I love your videos and I will be doing this cover for my sewing machine. Thank you

So beautiful, your fabrics and the quilting really make it what it is...I even think I can do that although I'm not a quilter. Thanks for the tutorial and the inspiration xo

Love this video. I made 2 for both my machines. That hand stitching though 🤔 but I did it and they look great !! Thankyou

That is so beautiful, you make it look so easy. I was looking for a way to make a cover for my mashing. With your well explained way I can make one. Thank you for explaining so nice and showing how to make it.....love how this is made....🌹❤️🌹❤️🌹❤️

Great video! So help and your project turned out beautifully!!! I love the vintage fabric!

This is an absolutely excellently taught video!! Perfect job!!

I absolutely love you you are not only beautiful but talented as well I’ve enjoyed watching and learning from you since day one And looking forward to many more teaching tutorials 😊

I love watching your videos. I’ve learned so much from you. Thank you 👏

I have become addicted to your videos, Laura. Your skills never cease to amaze me. They are so easy to follow. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!

yes, she is an excellent instructor. Very clear and concise instructions. She has a very pleasant voice to listen to also. Very professional quality.

You're such a great speaker! Your voice is so nice to listen to and the fluid way you speak is such a delight! What a sophisticated lady!

Absolutely beautiful, Laura!!! ☺️

This video is awesome! As a beginner you made this very easy for me to understand and I really appreciate that.

Thanks so much for posting this! It's precious and certainly looks doable.

I swear you find the most beautiful fabric! Love this!

What a great, informative video. I love the way you teach, so easy to follow. Thank you for the great video.

Love the colorful fabric used & how appropriate the theme- sewing ! great idea

I watched this video about two years ago, then made my sewing machine cover. Now I'm back as a reminder, for my first overlocker to get its cover. Only thing I changed was to use a thick striped cotton tape sewed to the edges of the main piece, then sewed its other edge to the sides, which gives the impression of binding without any hand sewing, and partly because my newly quilted fabric with bumph, was too thick to sew binding onto. I sewed the tape all round the bottom, and across the pocket tops too. I love my sewing machine cover, it's one of the best things I've ever made, thank you for the wonderfully clear and useful demo. Am hoping the overlocker cover turns out as well :)

I made a cover for my machine following your tutorial today. It come out really great. Thanks

I love everything what you do❤ Thank you Laura.

Thanks for sharing. I love the way you give instructions.

I remember watching this video & feeling it was a great tutorial . I was dreaming about a cover for my machine, in a dedicated sewing room & I was filled with anticipation. I knew I needed some time as the room had waited 33 years for me to inherit it, & it wouldn’t have to wait much longer. My dd was working from home, & it was her dedicated space. She was also expecting a baby. Well, babies 15 months. Those months have been filled with fun & quickly flown by. It’s been a lovely Sewing space for just 6 months, & it’s time for the final decorating touches. I’m rewatching videos, & I love this one more than ever. It’s going to be such a big help. Thanks so much for all the time & effort. This video is really good. Thanks Happy Sewing! Gramma to 13.

Thankyou so much for providing a pattern! I'm starting my project & all I needed was a pattern, you're the best!

I love this! I've been wanting to make one..... As soon as I get some extra time I'm confident I can do it ! Thanks for your great tutorials

A friendly Hello from Cincinnati...Laura, I'm so very grateful that I just discovered & subscribed to your terrific channel...It's now April, 2020, & the pandemic quarantine is still in full force...What good timing for me as I just ordered a brand new sewing machine, & can't wait to start putting it to good use beyond alterations... *: )* This brilliant sewing machine cover tutorial will be my 1st project...I began making my own clothes on an ancient Singer machine about 55 years ago...I'm incredibly grateful to my Mom & Gramma for fostering my love of machine sewing & decorative (hand) needle work...It's given me so much pleasure over the years... Bless you!!! Poppy

I appreciate you sharing this very simple method with us. I'm going to create a sewing machine cover in the next few weeks, and I'll keep coming back to view this as I work. Thanks!

Love your very clear tutorials. I look forward to seeing more.

Awesome tutorial, the best one I've seen. Thank you for sharing your talent. Smooches

Thank you for an excellent video which was easy to follow. I just completed a dust cover for my Juki and I'm very pleased with the outcome.

Thank you so much 😊 that was a great tutorial, loved the fabric you used too. You are very good at showing me how to do these beautiful things ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Great tutorial. I just unpacked my new Bernina 580 this afternoon. Went from a 1980 Husqvarna that finally gave up on me to this amazing computerized machine. It has blown my mind but now I want to make a nice cover for it. This is perfect. I like working with the Bosal foam so can hardly wait to get started. now where is that darn on/off button? LOL.

You are brillant! I enjoy and learn so much from your teaching method, SewVeryEasy to understand!! And, I love your materials, they are fun and beautiful! Thank-you.💟

Super cute cover. The fabric is gorgeous! I need to finish my sewing projects so I can start with this one 🙂. Thanks for the great tutorial.

Very clever Laura!! I love the colors and fabric choices. Thank you for a great video!

They turned out beautiful!

I love all your video I just finished making this cover for my machine thank you so much for your step to step instructions east to follow.

I think I have that same fabric with the dresses on. This is so good, I think I could use the same idea to make matching covers for my mixer and food processor in the kitchen. I am so excited now.... thanks Laura

Love it! Now I want a new cover. I guess I have to go to the fabric shop, hee hee. Any excuse is enough for me. Thanks Laura.

These instructions are excellent, thank you very much. I am going to make my cover like this.

Hmm . . . I got an air fryer for Christmas. I’ve been thinking of covering it and I remembered your video. Think I’ll try making a matched set for air fryer, blender, mixer, even my food saver standing on its side. In fact, as I’m writing this, I’m remembering that I have some fabric I bought - a few years ago - just waiting for a project. It’s rows of farms @ different seasons. I’ll fussy cut it as 6 inch border. I love it! Thank you!!

Awesome! I love it! Thank you for sharing...😊 Happy Mother's Day! 💐🥰

love your teaching style! Thank you for the instruction.

Thank you for your wonderful video. I used it to make my own machine cover. I made one alteration. I made a cutout on the right side to clear my machine cords, finished off with bias tape.

I had a lined cotton pencil skirt whose circumference happened to fit my 1948 Kenmore perfectly.. I sewed the lining all around the hem trimmed off some of the top and closed it up with boxed sides. (Think upside down tote bag.) I thought it was lazy and convenient repurpose. Now this video .... I'm impressed!!

Excellent tutorial, you are a very good teacher.

Wow how beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing this

Excellent video thank you! Love your fabric selections.

You are so inventive on your template, I love it!!

excellent instructions and thank you for all your tutorials.

BEAUTIFUL work!!

I love this video!! We are a four person very small Bee and all have FW's Thank you!

Thank you for the great informative video! It is the best one I have seen and your directions are very clear. I will use this to make covers for all 3 of my sewing machines and my serger.

♥️ Looks great, enjoyed watching x

Thank you so much for showing us how to make a really beautiful cover. I loved the video and the explanations. 😀

Fabulous and complete tutorial!

Thank you. I have always wanted to cover my Ellisimo WITH THE EMBROIDERY MODULE ON. I couldn't figure out how to do the end with the embroidery module. Never thought to leave it all the same height. Great demo!

I love this video...I'm thinking that there's a lot of use for this idea in the kitchen too!!! Very informative and detailed Thank you!
