This Sunday our duplicate bridge unit is having its Christmas party and there will be a LOT of slack time...waiting for games to start, waiting for scores to be posted, waiting for dinner, waiting, waiting, waiting..
So I'm out of "traveling" projects and then I spied the long forgotten end pieces for the singer cover pinned to a board... There were two of them and I played around a bit and basted them into one piece..

This picture is out of focus and don't have time to shoot it again...but you get the idea... Now I need to add chainette fringe, beaded fringe, lace and velvet ribbon around the bottom and it can all be done BY HAND.... One little corner upper right has a little gap but a a great spot for buttons... Not only that I will get to use an awkward piece of braid that I have been searching for the right spot for yearsssssssssssss///
Of course when I went to the barn to find some black fringe I discovered I had used it all up on the BoHo kits so will have to improvise... This has been sitting around a couple years and only took 2 (well maybe closer to 3) hours to put to together... My featherweight is happy and I'm happy to have something to take Sunday to keep my hands busy while w a i t i n g!!!!

Your cover is already beautiful. I am looking forward to see the what all the "waiting" on Sunday will do with it :-)
Hi Gerry, I think it's amazing how much stitching you get done. I absolutely love the colours in the cover. Good luck with your bridge! Blessings from Lesley UK
Good for you! Finishing that project and making something useful for your machine. I need a cover for my machine too....and an ironing board cover (my current one is a complete embarrassment)...and a new apron based on an old one that I love but is falling apart...
Glad to see you have it all covered...it looks so regal to be covering your sewing machine...I think she's going to feel like a queen with such a magnificent "coat"...happy day...
