I’ve had a lot of emails from people who would love to use the same fabric I chose for my tutorial, the Quilted Sewing Machine Cover.
The fabric I used was a charm pack of Half Moon Modern by Moda, given to me by a partner in a swap several years ago, and unfortunately it’s now out of print. Who knows – there may be some lurking about in a quilt shop near you, but online you definitely won’t find it anymore.
Instead, I thought I’d share with you some recommendations of some lovely charm packs I’ve seen around that could create either a similar colour theme, or just some beautiful fabric to make your sewing machine cover fabulous and unique!
Canyon by Kate Spain – lots of gorgeous reds and aquas to give you a similar style. Find it here.
Little Ruby by Bonnie & Camille. Lovely fresh colours and pretty florals make this one a perfect choice. Get it here.
Fruit Dots by Cotton + Steel – For a totally different look with a modern twist. Bright colours and fabulous prints. Check it out here.
Bright Sun by Sherri & Chelsi. Gorgeous reds, aquas, blues and mustard yellows with modern desert style motifs. See all the prints here.
Handmade by Bonnie & Camille. Gorgeous colours and the fabrics have a sewing theme with their text prints. Perfect for a sewing machine cover! See the details here.
Hope you find some lovely fabric inspiration here. I love buying charm packs, they are so handy and great to stash and use later, and you get a selection of a whole fabric range to play with!

Last night I finished my quilted sewing machine cover. It was my very first quilted project ever! It was so much fun and I love the result. I added ribbon loops to grab it with. I’d love to send a picture but don’t see how right now.
Hi Sandra, so glad this project was such a success for you!! I’d love to see a photo – perhaps you can email it to me or send it in a message on my facebook page?
I used fat quarter pack of red and white prints and red bias tape.
Hi, I just saw this and would love to make it. I have a Bernina 830. Will this fit it? Thank you very much.
