Now my Juki is fully dressed...

I'm happy to report that my Juki is now fully dressed, and fully dust-proof! I finally turned my three 6" Lucky Stars blocks into a cover for my Juki yesterday, using some Architextures crosshatch in black for my background fabric, with a few pops from Sweetwater's Noteworthy on the side pockets. I'm really happy with how this little cover came together, and it fits my machine perfectly, so I'm a happy camper.

I adapted a tutorial I found here to fit my machine and made a few small cosmetic changes to it, like adding three Lucky Stars blocks (L-R: February, March, and Practice blocks), but it's a great tutorial, I highly recommend it if you're wanting to make a machine cover that fully covers your machine like this one.

Speaking of Lucky Stars, today is the first of March, so emails are heading out left and right to all of you Lucky Stars BOM subscribers, with the March Ninja Star block pattern. If you do not receive it this morning, please first check your Spam or Junk folder, as it may be hiding out there. If you don't see it there, by all means, send me a quick email so I can help you get the pattern in hand.

March Lucky Star block - the Ninja Star

Have a wonderful Friday and a fabulous weekend!

That cover looks great! I just bought a Juki on eBay (literally a couple hours ago) and am already thinking about a cover for it. I'm loving the Ninja Star pattern you've just sent out so they may be featuring. Thanks for linking to the tutorial!

Wonderful! Have considered a cover for my new Horizon 8900, but no time time do it yet.

I'm so lazy, it would save me the effort of measuring my Juki if you shared the dimensions --

LOVE LOVE LOVE this! I need a new Juki cover for a new Juki, too! It came with a rather sad, flimsy white plastic cover (shudder). :)
