This is an easy tutorial where you draw out the pattern pieces yourself. I love that it is specific to the Brother 1034D, as that is my serger. The tutorial is from Swoodson Says
It does take some skill to navigate the main seam. There is a 90 degree turn at the back corner and then the curving seam on the front edge, and the two straight parts of the main seam in back and front. So take care on that! It is kind of fun really. I used a brown paper bag for the side panel pattern and the pattern for the main piece. Worked well.
After taking pictures and waiting a day or two, today I added the little kitty embroidery. The cover needed something! I just love that little kitty and spool. I had not embroidered in quite some time, and had to drag out the instructions! SHOCK!
I bought my other machines covers made by a very talented home sewer and sold on ETSY. I wanted this serger cover to sort of bland with those, and the lady had used a double-sided muslin fabric for the main body of two of my covers. I took a chance on the fabric through AMAZON and was so happy to find it was identical to what she had used! Just in case anyone wants a really nice machine cover - see her store at ETSY in the Yellowfarmhouse. I didn't want to make three covers because her prices are so good, and it would have cost me more to make them myself than to buy them. This serger cover did not because I had the cotton for the sides, and the pattern was free. The double-sided fabric did cost about 22 dollars for two yards, but I have other uses for it as well. And the embroidery was a design I had from Embroidery Library and PolyNeon thread I have have had for a few years. All in all I love this cover and it will make me smile whenever I see it.
