I’ve been enjoying the sneak previews on IG as you’ve been making this and it is great to see the final reveal! You were definitely right to embellish the windows – it has made all the difference! It is fabulous!

Thank you, I’m glad you agree about the windows – I did wonder if I’d gone over the top at first!

I love your version with the ‘lived in’ look.
If I hadn’t already got a cover, I’d have a go at this like a shot. Hmmm… I have got a ‘spare’ sewing machine though. Another project to go on the list perhaps.

I’ve got four more machines (for the sewing school) and my students want me to make covers for them all!

Aw, it’s proper cute! I’d want one on my toaster in the kitchen for all to see! Love your free motion appliqué, it really makes it special 🏕⛺️ (thought I’d find a caravan emoji but could only find tents!)

On the toaster? Ha ha, good idea for all the appliances, although it would be a shame to put one on my KitchenAid:)

Turned out super cute! I bought fabric for mine and downloaded the free pattern with adjustments so it’s in the queue. I have a sit-down long arm that needs a cover and I’m envisioning one long cover with two campers on each end and a “fire” in the middle…and maybe a couple of lawn chairs? Too fun! Yours looks great! You’d have a whole little caravan going on if all your machines had camper covers. 🙂
