Serger Cover
Apparently, my productivity didn't stop yesterday because I managed to finish my serger machine cover!
Although in the photograph (and from a distance) the cover looks good, overall, I'm not as pleased with how this one turned out. My two problems with the serger cover: 1) The fit seems looser. It could be because I was slightly off on my measurements or because my serger isn't as 'uniform' of a shape in comparison to a sewing machine - it has lots more lumps and bumps going on. 2) I didn't round the corners. On my sewing machine cover I rounded off the corners and I think that the fabric lays nicely and has a nice clean look to it. This time, I didn't do that and squared them off instead. I'm sure that no one else will notice this but me, but it's one of those little details that I know is there!
Now there's one left to go. I'm taking my knowledge from the last two and hopefully making it the best machine cover ever!

My machine came with a cover that has a drawstring on the bottom. Of course, my machine cover is a used white and nowhere near as pretty as yours.
