Looking good - and functional. Watch out for broken needles, I once had one ping off my glasses.

Bravo @Wayfarer and maybe now you show it a lil love and give it an iron???
You'll only need to do it once as those creases are obviously the result of much fettling and wrangling and you wont be doing that again ... now its finished?!!!

Somehow I missed the finished cover.  Well done for persevering and completing your first project.

Indoor photos always show up creases that you didn't know were there.  I'm appalled sometimes by how rumpled my carefully pressed, finished garments look when I take a picture.
Life's too short for ironing.

Yeah I've noticed that too with ironing.  And some wrinkles never fully come out no matter how much one presses.  I'm talking to you linen.

That is such a fun cover @Wayfarer

Rather than start yet another new thread I figured I'd update this one.
I think my sewing has slightly improved.
I've just finished this. Aaaaaand it was my first ever go at making and fitting beading. What beading did I use? Washing line of course!  :laughing:
Hasn't turned out too bad at all I think  :D

Excellent.  So far, I've wimped out of using piping on anything.

That looks very professional and much more robust that the soft covers that come with machines.

Using washing line was a genius idea to give structure and support to the cover.  I am now thinking what I could make to use up the metres of the stuff I have in the shed.

Wow that looks better than anything you could buy @Bill  You've done well really because  there are some things I wouldn't attempt because I know my limitations on faffing about and I believe that's one of them.

That looks to be an excellent job - and I love that you used a nice sturdy washing line inside the piping.
