So, this week I had a go at using vinyl to make a dust cover. I noticed a few things, such as I like doing the patterns on vinyl as its easier (to me), pencil, ruler, craft knife, slice away and nice clean edges. Its a lot harder to sew though due to the thickness, like everything its the good with the not so good. Anyway..
I loosely followed a YouTube video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n8pZlWZ4Ttc&t=409s but how he lay things out didnt seem to work so I just figure out my own way and ended up with a layout like this. I'll stick with it as it seemed to work OK.
The thing Im covering (Digitakt) is this, a square box shape with knobs on
And what I ended up with is this
The Good - I finished it, it came out roughly as I hoped and hasnt fallen apart as of yet
The Bad - The seams are all over the place, corners arent finished properly on the exterior and I cut a bit too close for one corner thats left a hole.
The Ugly - its not as sharp a square as I want.
Please feel free to pick apart the mistakes and where I could improve, I did treat this as an experiment so I have learnt a few things and what my limitations are at the mo. If you have any opinions on different types of material for this type of Id be interested to hear what else I could use.
Thread was Gutermann Polyester Sew All, straight stitch on 2, no idea how you refer to the thread weight/thickness it was all I had.
