Assembling the Project:

Measure the height (top to bottom), width (front to back) and length (side to side) of your sewing machine. Add 1 1/2" to each of the three measurements. These measurements are referred to as L, H and W in the instructions.
Cut three pieces of fabric and two pieces of batting measuring H x L for the cover back and lining. Cut two pieces of fabric and one piece of batting W x L for the top and lining. Cut four pieces of fabric and two pieces of batting measuring H x W for the sides. The front fabric for appliqué is 9 1/2" H x L measurement. Sew the length side to a strip of the cover fabric. Press the seam. Trim this strip side of the fabric to measure the H of your machine.
Arrange the appliqués onto the front cover fabric. Press in place and topstitch.
Sew the short ends of the top to the short ends of the side pieces. Repeat this with the top and sides for the lining, but this time add a layer of batting.
Sew the front to the long side of the top. Sew the back cover to the remaining side of the top.
Pin the front cover lining to the top lining. Sew across, but leave a 5" opening in the center for turning later.
Sew the back cover lining to the remaining side of the lining.
Align, pin and sew down each of the four sides of the front cover. Repeat for the four sides of the lining.
Turn the outer cover right sides out and insert into the lining so that the right sides of the fabrics are facing. Align the edges and pin. Sew all of the way around the cover.
Turn right sides out, and stitch the opening closed.
