Anne gave me a couple of GO! dies for Christmas. One of them was the Heather Feather. Here it is April and I had not used it yet so I challenged myself to use it for my Color Palette Challenge project.
As if you could forget...the palette is based on Judy's moldy pie!
Here's my project. I've decided that I want covers for my sewing machines. They get so dusty in my sewing room. This month I'm covering the Pfaff. This cover is open on the right side. I did that because I often use thread from a cone so I use the thread stand. With the cover open on that side I will not need to unthread the machine to use the cover which increases it's chance of being used.
The cover isn't quilted. It's a simple cloth dust cover. I used my serger to finish the raw edges on the inside and for the hem. I cut one set of shapes from each of my 5 colors and just had fun arranging them on the cover. This is totally fused. I didn't even sew them down since I know it's not likely to be washed any time soon (or ever).
For a quick project I think it turned out kind of cute and it shows that it's not a bad color palette after all and doesn't make me think of mold either.
How's your project coming along?
Looks great and practical too!

Hard to believe you made something so beautiful from that moldy pie color scheme.

Strikes again - one man's trash is another man's treasure. Love this colorway and will make my own HDT with this.

The dust cover looks wonderful. Lots of fun.

That's very cute; my machines need dresses too! re: colour challenge, still designing. Guess I'd better step up the pace.

Nice design! One of these days I'll get around to cleaning - then a dust cover would be a good idea!
