Happy Tuesday - welcome to the Poppie Cotton
Moonbeam Dreams Fabric Tour! I am thrilled to be today's stop on the tour - thank you so much for stopping by for a visit. I have a very special sewing machine dust cover to share (and a little pincushion too!), created with the new
Moonbeam Dreams Fabric Collection designed by Amada Grace Design for Poppie Cotton. I was thrilled to put on my quilt designer hat and work with these magical prints. This brand new collection (shipping this month) has lovely moth, firefly, star, moon and floral prints...all done in a calming color palette.
Let's take a close-up look at my project...
"Flutter and Flower"
A Sewing Machine Dust Cover & Sewing Machine Mat
I used a
Moonbeam Dreams Fat Quarter Bundle and 1 1/2 yards of
Country Confetti in Heavy Cream Cream (lining/backing/binding) to create my cover/mat. The moth blocks are foundation paper-pieced and everything else is traditional piecing. Together, the moth blocks create one large pocket on the front of the cover - perfect for the machine pedal, power cord, quilt patterns, and/or the machine manual. The smaller pockets on the reverse side are made for sewing/stitching tools - such as a seam ripper, scissors, rulers, marking utensils, tweezers - you know, all those tools you need close at hand. I wanted to make the cover useable at all times, so when it is not acting as a dust cover, it can be placed under the sewing machine as a mat/pad and the pockets hang down with all my tools handy. I used HeatnBond Fusible Fleece to give my cover good padding and stability. For the side ties, I used hand-dyed twill tape (1/4") in color Old Tutu from
Lady Dot Creates. I can't believe how much joy this new dust cover/mat brings to my sewing studio...it makes me happy the second I walk in the room!
I have written a pattern and you can find it in my Etsy Shop in both paper and digital format.

After finishing up my sewing machine cover, I was compelled to work with some of my leftover fabric pieces and made the sweetest little pincushion with a fussy cut center. I found some lovely decorative pins in my collection to add. Perhaps I will make a coordinating thread catcher in the future.
I hope you have enjoyed this stop on the fabric tour and are feeling inspired - thank you for visiting with me today.
