I love your tutorials. So encouraging.
Finished my " new to me" FW cover and am SO pleased. Thank you.
(Now, your 11 minute tutorial took me 5 hours! I closed off the top and added straps. My handle is old.)
My husband surprised me with a featherweight last weekend, I want to use the original case and your tutorial is the best….use the original case and protect/pretty it up at the same time 😀 Laura your tutorials are always easy to understand/follow along and I just love them. You are the best!
Wow!! I just discovered Featherweights about a year ago and now have 3! Your video is the first I’ve seen for this cover!! Thank you!!
I just finished my featherweight case bag thanks to your wonderful tutorial. Now I am going to make a small pad to go under the presser foot and slide up the extension table to protect the surface of the extension table from the faceplate screw.. thank you so much Laura, I love your videos!
Put a sticky dot on the screw head.
THANK YOU for all your wonderful tutorials!! They are very clear and easy to understand! I know that many experienced sewers do not appreciate watching the actual sewing in a tutorial. However, i would really appreciate seeing how you manipulate the foam covered material while you are sewing it on the machine. I want to make the sewing machine covers for my machines, but I can't imagine how I will be able to with the bulk of the foam. I guess that I am a visual learner. Thank you again for all the amazing tutorials is such a clear and pleasant manner! Wishing you continued good health to continue doing all that you love to do!
I will keep that in mind, thank you:)
You are amazing! I guess I'm a visual learner, but I paid a bunch for a pattern that I couldn't understand. You are a great teacher! Thank you!
Thanks for this pattern Laura I just recently got a singer feather weight 221 made in 1951 and I just finished making the cover I love how it turned out 😊
Stunning craftsmanship and fabric choice as always.
What a great carrying case for so many objects! Thank you for making it look so easy! Your wonderful personality helps us all feel as if we can really do any of these projects.
I try to make it so You can!
Thank you for this wonderful tutorial to protect my Featherweight case. Such a great idea and so professional looking!! Your videos are so easy to follow along. Thank you!
This will work very well for my little travel Brother! You are a GENIUS! I still have the box it came in and all the styrophome packing. This is brilliant!As usual, thank you!
Because the handles on a featherweight case are old, they can sometimes break, so maybe consider adding handles to the padded cover to carry your machine.
Thank you so much for this video! I just make the cover for a machine I purchased last week. My case is in fair condition, with the bottom showing the most wear and tear. With this cover, I can still travel with it without causing additional damage to the original case. I love it!
I know it is funny how we want to protect the case too:)
By the way, I also made the sewing machine cover too! I love your instructions for applying the binding to keep all seams enclosed.
wow! that's great. If you want you can post pictures on my facebook
Okay, I will take some. Thank you!
This is the best tutorial video I've seen. Love the cover and your directions are so very straight forward and easy to understand.
I fallowed your tutorial and made the cutest cover ever. I only had fusible fleece and 2 zippers from my stash. I have sewn 2 other different covers before. However This I like best looks cute and tidy. Good project for a snow day.
I watch all your videos. You are so meticulous with everything you do. I had made several things from your videos. They turn out perfect per your instructions. Please continue to make videos. Your work is amazing! This cover is my next project and I know it will turn out perfect with your instructions. Great job as always!
thank you and thanks for letting me know. If you would like you can show pictures on my fb
I've inherited the Feather Weight that my mom taught me to sew on back in 1965-ish. By '67 this little machine made all my clothes. What a great cover to preserve my treasured heirloom machine! BTW, my mom also bought the Feather Weight table!
Wow! Ingenious design..I don't need a carry case but want to make it anyway! With the top closed it would make a great train case for makeup!
Thanks glad you like it. I'm happy it gave you ideas
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I always wanted to make a cover for a carrying case and never could figure out how to do that. Now I know how, and it really is very easy. I would never have been able to figure it out by myself. You are a great teacher, and i am watching all of your videos and i have learned so much. I love your videos
I got my fabric today .. to make my cover ... I don't have a case but I love how yours turned out .. so I am kinda following along and making a cover for my machine. ... thank you for the tutorial ... it looks so easy now ... thank you.
Have fun!
I love this tutorial. I used your tutorial to make a cover for the case for my Singer 301. Using measurements makes this adaptable.
I love the structure / support the Bosal foam gives this project. And thanks for the link to that beautiful vintage-look fabric. This is a great tutorial.
Glad you liked it and thanks for letting me know:-)
I love the fabric you used for the featherweight, I have been looking for this fabric for ages.
I love your idea, my serger and coverstich machines came with just a plastic cover, I am going to try to construct your cover for each of my machines.
Thank you, you are very telented, I am so glad that I came upon your blog by accident a couple of weeks ago. Thank you once again.

It was great to be able to meet you last Thursday at Quilt Canada 2016.
It was great meeting you too and thanks for watching
Great for my featherweight case, I’m new to make something like this. My only question would be how much are your measurements for the solid red and black fabric??? How wide are those?
wow, this such a great idea. Thanks for this tutorial...love the fabric, too.
Thank you for your meticulous & instructive video's! I LOVE them! I'm SO excited! I have been wanting a sewing machine cover pattern for a while. I believe I have found it! YAY!
i love that printed fabric
I have a turquoise featherweight with a case exactly like yours. It's so cute. You are very creative with this cover! Good job!
Thanks Liz, you have a turquoise one...how nice:-)
Love your featherweight cover. You did an excellent job of making it. Keep up the great work.

Wonderful! Thank you so much for posting this tutorial. I love the "gift wrap" method of custom fitting the cover.
Thanks and thanks for watching
Hi Laura- me again. This is great, I need to make 2 for my featherweights. I am lucky that the cases are still in pretty good shape but definitely want to keep them that way. Thanks for the videos.
Thanks Nancy, and you have 2 featherweight!!!! lucky girl:)
What a superb tutorial.
Ma'am Shaaa Allah how much smart you are!!!!!!!!
thanks:)
Great job! You have made a few of these! Such nice material, too. Loving yoyr channel. Thank you so much. Your sewing room is so pretty and functional. Great ideas...
I love this idea, I want to do for my case machine. Thank you very much.
Love it! Zipper placement is the best thought 💼
Thanks:)
Great idea if your case is old and worn and needs a make over! xoxo from Arizona.
I absolutely love this case cover!!! I want to make me one!!! Well 2, cause I have two of them.
You are lucky...two!!
I am going to make one of these for my record box for my precious vinyl records. Thank you
That would be fun and you can get some really fun fabric for that
Absolutely beautiful! Such a great video and teacher.
This is a beautiful design. Thanks for sharing it!
Thankyou for this idea for the featherweight 😎👍🇦🇺

Another Amazing video tutorial. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and expertise with us. 😀
Thank you and Thank you for watching :)
Thanks a lot I can try sewing for my self. God bless
🙏♥️👍
Interesting idea to protect and beautify!
Thank you I enjoy to follow and was able to make mine.Great explications well done!
Glad you like it:)
Could this have straps (webbing or similar)? My case handle is fragile. I just got the FW and have been able to work on restoration.
I love this idea and I’m trying to make it, I’m not sure about the seat allowance you used. I guess 1/4” is to little, did you use 3/8”, 5/8”
Or 1/2? Thank you
Love it! Now to get time to make it. Thanks for sharing.
thank you and thanks for taking time to watch!:)
Loved this. Thank you Laura.
Beautiful Fabric, Thank you for sharing!!!
Thanks and thanks for watching
You always come up with the most clever ideas. Love the fabric, as always. I'd love to have a feather weight. Maybe.....some day. :D TFS! xoxoJanet
It is such a fun little machine...and you can see how much I spoil her:)
Is there anyway to find out how much fabric is needed, as well as bosol? Thank you
When Making the featherweight caring case cover, is the three different fabrics laid on top of each other, or are the coordinating pieces sewed onto the main fabric? It Seems like there would a lot of fabric that is hidden under the main fabric. Then the next layer is basil and then the next layer is the lining. Video unclear
Super cute! Problem is l have the featherweight, sewing card table and most all the attachments...but no case.
BRILLIANT!
Would this work if I used batting instead of the bosal? or would it not be stiff enough?
you could, the bosal just hold it shape but once it is on the machine it would be fine:)
Do you have a tutorial for a cover for the fold up extension for the featherweight.
Does anyone know what the measurements for the red strip and the black strip might be? I can sew but I truly struggle with the cutting and the math.
Do you have printed directions for this cover?
I love your channel! I'm going to attempt this. What the height measurements for the red strip, black strip, and print fabrics?
I liked it very much... Its awesome....
Great tutorial, thank you so much for sharing.
Great!! thanks for the idea Love your fabric too
Thanks Deb:)
OMG I sew love all our videos
Love this tutorial. thanks.
Thank you so, so much!!
You are most welcome! :-)
I love this idea. One question, are the dimensions for the 3 pieces for the top available? Otherwise, you cut the exterior fabric the same size as the Bosal? Thanks!
Laura, was a yard of this fabric enough for your featherweight case? Thank you!
what size zippers did you use? thanks!
I'm sure she will respond, but I just made one and I used Dritz Cut-to-Size- Upholstery Zipper. I only used one zipper. I still stopped the zipper about 3" from each end because I like the tabs she used to cover the zipper ends. It looks more finished, to me. I hope you make one!
I think they were 24 inches I'm traveling right now but can check when I get home. I would recommend getting the longest you can because you can always cut them shorter
Is there any other way to get the fabric ?? That website requires to have a business to buy the fabrics ... :( ..great tutorial btw
What is the minimum zipper length you recommend? I have a 30" which will fit across the front and both sides, leaving the back to sew close and cover as you show in the video. Will this allow the case to open well enough or should the zipper ideally go part way around the back side too?
It would make it easier to open the case with a little bit of zipper on the back to, thanks for asking:)
Loved it! Thank you for this video!
What size bosal package do you need?
Like this case cover....YOU are so very cute! Thanks bunches.
thanks:)
Have you ever tried this with a full size sewing machine?
Awesome, awesome, awesome!!!!
So beautiful..
Thanks! What a great tutorial!
Thanks Donna glad you like it
