Sewing Machine Cover Challenge

Well I have finished my sewing machine cover for the challenge with
Jenny of Elefantz http://elefantz.blogspot.com/search/label/Sewing%20Machine%20Cover%20Challenge%20for%20August.
I really like it after I finally chose the fabrics.
I almost went with bright
contemporary colors but they wouldn't have looked
right with the rest of my room. Of course it is a hodge podge of colors but
I have a black, wine, and camel rug and my rag quilt hangs right above
my machine so I went with the colors of my
room...which happen to be my favorite colors!

I made pockets on both sides for scissors and other items. I sew on a
rubber shelf mat to keep my sewing machine from sliding around.
That is the wine fabric under my machine

Here it is all done and since I had a new cover I had to
clean and organize my sewing room a bit!!
