Vintage Campervan sewing Machine Cover /Dust Cover Sewing Pattern and Instructions. (PDF files).
DIY fabric campervan sewing machine cover.

Sew your own beautiful fabric vintage campervan sewing machine cover /dust cover for your sewing machine. Instantly download all files you need to make it the size you want in the fabric you want.

Finished size - 51 cm long, 33 cm high and 23 cm wide (20 inches long, 13 inches high and 9 inches wide). You can alter the measurements very easily using an Excel spreadsheet (you just enter your desired sewing machine cover size and the spreadsheet will update with the different sizes for each step, in centimetres and inches).

What you get - you are not receiving a physical copy of the pattern and instructions, nor a physical copy of the actual sewing machine cover. You will receive 3 PDF files for you to download and print at home: one PDF file with the instructions, a PDF file with the pattern piece templates and another Excel spreadsheet allowing you to work out the sizing of the pattern pieces if your sewing machine cover measurements need to be altered. Before you print off the PDF with the pattern piece templates, please read the instructions first. You will receive everything that you need to enable you to know how to create your own sewing machine cover.  

Details of instructions - The instructions comprise over 40 pages, which are split into sections and numbered, in plain English, no jargon and many photographs to help you. The pattern pieces are included in a further PDF of 5 pages. When you print please choose "scaling none" or "100% scale". I have updated the pattern instructions to include inches as well as cm. I have also added information on an option to simplify the windows and curtains.
