Sewing Machine Covers

One way to keep your sewing machine running well is to cover it. Most machines come with some sort of cover, but these are either made of flimsy plastic or some sort of hard cover.
What you really need is a soft cover that perfectly fits your machine and allows you to easily cover it after each use.
Since purchasing my new Juki TL2010Q I’ve been thinking about making a sewing machine cover. Actually, I’ve been wanting to make a trio of matching covers for all three of my machines that sit out.
With that in mind, I’ve collected a few sewing machine covers from around the web that I think have tons of potential.
A couple of these patterns can be purchased, but most are free on the web.
Patterns to Purchase
1. A Simple Quilted Cover
This is a purchased pattern available on Craftsy. I chose it because it includes quilting and a bias binding. I think this style would look nice in any sewing room.
2. Vintage Caravan Sewing Machine Cover
This Etsy pattern falls under the category of too cute for words. This could be very cute if you have more than one machine that sits out. Imagine the possibilities.

1. Sewing Machine Cozy
This simple tutorial doesn’t require any special skills and is easy to follow. I especially love the fabric she has chosen and the side pocket is a nice touch.
2. Cover with Decorative Stitches
Break out the decorative stitches on your machine and create a masterpiece. This pattern includes several storage pockets, two loops at the sides, and a handle on top. Removing and storing the cover would be a snap.
3. Undercover Maker Mat
This machine cover does double duty. By day it keeps your sewing utensils organized and close by. When you’re done sewing, it becomes a cover. Very clever, indeed.
Bonus: Serger Cover
This serger cover pattern is one I created years and years ago. I still use it. It follows the drape and tie method and is very easy to whip off and back on. Not my best work, I was just beginning to experiment with quilting. Obviously, I have learned a lot since making this cover.
Choose a cover style that suits you and then make something fun and unique. Your sewing machine will thank you.
P.S. If you love this post, please share it on Pinterest and Facebook. It would mean the world to me.
Hi Leslie, thanks for sharing all the machine covers! I really need to do this and hopefully I can get started on one this week.
really like the campervan one and the o ne with the patchwork sewing machine, so cute
Like what I see on your website. I never knew I could gather with my serger. Thank you.
LOVE this post. A cover for my machines has always been on my “to do” list. Each and every one is so cute and creative. I think the vintage caravan cover would be perfect for all those sewist living or traveling in an RV 🙂
These sewing machine covers are so cute!! I especially love the camper one!! I need to make one of these for my sewing machine. Thanks for the great round up of covers! I would like to invite you to link up to our party, Sweet Inspiration. It starts on Friday and runs until Tuesday. Hope to see you there!!
They are all beautiful. Thank you for sharing these ideas. Now comes the hard part – deciding which one to make.
Wonderful selection of sewing machine covers, thank you!
I am pretty lazy, and don’t want to remove the high thread guide so a cover will fit – any ideas?
Can someone please help me find this free tutorial? I just can’t figure out the link issue!

I love the style of the sewing machine cover that looks like a trailer. My wife loves to sew and make crafts for our kids and it seems like she is always working on a new project. I think that we should get a bag for a machine that could allow her to bring it whenever we go on a trip to visit family.
I love #4 with all the decorative stitching and buttons! The pockets are wonderful, too! This is the one I’m hoping to adapt to fit my Pfaff and maybe even my DreamCreator. Thank you for the inspiration to do something beautiful for my machines!
Thank you, this is exactly what I have been looking for!
Well after 40 years of not sewing yesterday I bought a used machine and at 77 I think I’ll start with one of these covers. Wish me luck and thank you for the post.
This is a great pattern & guide! I’ve seen others & not this nice & easy. I’ve needed a cover that’s easy on/off. To match my decor.
