My partner mentioned that she likes Hope Valley, so I used that as the main fabric for this sewing machine cover. I have to admit, though, that I'm not a huge fan of it myself. Something about the colors just don't do it for me. I think that's why I struggled to finish it.
I used the orange and purple fabrics to make a semi-reversible cover for her machine.
The back and ties use the same fabric. I straight-line quilted the cover in random lines. I don't think I basted it as well as I could have because I had a couple problems with tucking here and there.
Overall, I'm pleased with how it came together.
When I showed it to my mom, she loved it, which gave me the idea to make one for her for her birthday.
Along with this, I sent my partner some Hope Valley charm squares in the green/yellow and gray colorways as well as some vintage thread spools. I hope she likes the package.

I *love* it! In fact, right after I leave this comment, I am off to Flickr to favourite it because I want to make myself a machine cover and this is EXACTLY what I want.
I'm sure your partner will be really happy with her package. It sounds lovely!
It's beautiful! I love the random quilting.
I bet your partner will be very happy to have such a lovely cover to add to her home :)
So funny story. My mom called me today informing me she had seen this great sewing machine cover linked up to {Sew} Modern Monday this week. She went on and on about how much she liked it. :) Pretty sure it was her way of leaving a hint that she would like one. Mom was right (again), this cover is wonderful! Thanks for linking up!
