My other half needed a cover for a bit of sports kit, so I knocked this up one evening this week (using my home machine, but bearing in mind all the best practice bits @Lia taught me during my inductions this year!). Really pleased with how it came out, I need to bring my patterns to the space and finish the bike bags I’ve started!

Excellent work, looks great - why is there a hole in the bottom?
If you would like some help with bike bags let me know, ive made many over the years

It’s for the handle - you slide it through the hole and it rolls down around the head!
I originally was looking at a clamshell thing, but with the material and hardware I had on hand this was the easiest option (even with a circular french seam, as I didn’t want to deal with bias tape).
Tight curves on a vintage machine are… Not much fun, no 
It’s a canvas cover with a cotton lining, both partly chosen for the pattern and colour, which should do the job. It shouldn’t need to work as hard as e.g. camping gear or a coat, so hopefully this will last her a long time!
great job!
