That was until I sat it on my work bench and said"this will not be an orphan for any longer"..and so the brain started ticking and voila a new dress for my sewing machine was born..and I am crappy at taking pictures..took like 20 just to try and do this justice it truly has a nice crisp fresh look-perfect for the pending gloomy wet season that will hit us soon...
I have not reduced the size of pics so you can will get a huge view when you click on images.
Oh boy it was tricky working out the applique shapes I wanted, I ended up tracing a pair of embroidery scissors -button jar just fliked it-cotton reel was a tad challenging I knew in my head what I wanted it too look like and after several trying attempts I got there--pin cushion nearly done my head in,but overall I was happy with how it all turned out...
Could not have a plain boring back on it could I?
All good dresses need pockets and this one is no exception, tidy holes to hide things.....
Close up just in case you missed it.
And just 'cause I sometimes have an odd sense of humor, I miss spelled "then" for "den" cause it's a dresden block, and truly I must dress before I sew sewing in jammies can be so user unfriendly for me.
Cheers Vickie
Thanks for dropping in.

What an effective design for your machine cover. It showcases your dresden block so well. Your play on words is very clever.
Your machine's dress is beautiful, she must be looking forward to wearing it lots - you might need to get very persuasive now - just so that you can still sew
Blessings
