Vintage cover for a vintage machine

I needed a cover for this vintage Singer 301

and decided to use a vintage embroidered pillowcase

that I bought this summer for $1 at a thrift shop in Rosthern, SK.

first I cut it in half lengthwise.

I opened up the seam because it was  bit tight for the Singer

and then I inserted a two-inch strip of vintage cotton.

Then I sewed the top seam, boxed off the corners

and lined it with the other half of the pillowcase.

This is made from heavy duty cotton,

most likely a flour or sugar sack.

Now it protects my machine from dust,

and I can enjoy the embroidery on it every day.
