What I'm working on: bag for my overlock machine

Putting 10 mm big jersey-buttons on.

I bought my overlock machine second hand as a Christmas present to myself in 2016. It didn't come with any type of bag or cover, and for a while I've been fine with that.

But now I've been needing space on the desk more and more, and the machine moved to under the table. Queue dusty galore for it...poor thing.

This spring, I enrolled myself in a short course on how to sew with an overlock. And since II will need to transport it, it needs a bag. Like pronto.

So, I've been trying to design myself an overlock bag that has enough room for the pedal, cords and some threads.

Yes, it's the rest of the fabric I used for backing on Pihla's babyquilt.

The jersey buttons opens up the sides.

I tried sewing mesh pockets. It went well, but next time I will do them a bit differently.

This is how it opens up.

The best thing about the design is that the entire bag opens up, and that makes it really easy to take the machine out an put it in again.

And we'll see how practical the design is when I attend the course, so now we'll only need to wait for that.

I understand that Pinterest is useful for saving tutorials and photos for quilting inspiration, because I use it that way myself, and I'm okay with you doing that too - but PLEASE: "cite when you write". Give the creator some credit, will you? I have nothing against you trying to make something similar, or even selling it, but I'd like to get some credit for being your inspiration. Why? Well, because lots of crafts are passed down from person to person, and it feels nice to be able to say "yes, I taught you how to make that".

What I DON*T LIKE is you flat out stealing my photos and my written text.
