Sew a Simple Cricut Cover or Sew a Sewing Machine Cover

Protect those machines from the dust! It's there... you just don't see it! Or maybe you do!
This tutorial will show you how to sew a washable, flexible cover. The project is good for a Cricut machine, as well as sewing machine (with a bit more measuring of your machine's depth).
For the Cricut Explore Air 2; a standard size, cut:
(2) outer fabrics 12 X 28
(2) inner fabrics 12 X 28
Optional 2 interface fabrics the same measurement.
** I cut my measurements to be 14X27 because I wanted it snug on the sides but found 14" may be a bit too high/tall for some. Just remember to leave room for the standing pens.

Thank you so much for this video I just made a dust cover for my sewing machine and it came out perfect it was exactly what I was looking for I wanted something simple and fast and now I want to make more just to have options lol

[@kathyboggs7741]

Thank you for sharing this fantastic video on how you made a dust cover for your Cricut. Like you, I need to make one and the simplicity of this one certainly has inspired me to get in my craft room to put one together for my Cricut Maker 3. I might try to design an outer pocket to hold some of the accessories.

[@SewnByNikki]

Glad it was helpful! An outer pocket will not be too difficult. If you can't figure it out, let me know.

[@MySodaTownJournals]

Thank you so much for sharing this! I'm just venturing out into sewing things other than just hemming a pair of pants lol. I've been using the dreaded "dust cover" that came with my cricut as well. I just made this cover! I'm so proud of myself. You've done so much more than show me how to make a cricut cover. You've made me feel good about myself and givenme confidence to try other sewing projects. So, again, thank you🥰🥰

[@SewnByNikki]

Wonderful! You are so welcome! Don't think you cannot sew a project. Just take your time and watch your lines. You can go step by step. BE proud of yourself. You made something!! : )

[@MarianneScholtz-jf8ru]

I try that easy thank u so much

[@elaineswartz7670]

Thanks, need to make a cover for our daughters cricut, and also, love your finger nails.!

[@SewnByNikki]

You should! I love the simplicity of this project. It protects my machine when I don't use it for a while!

[@tonyastokley5165]

This is the best video ! Ty ty ty ty

[@rosamundmundy6966]

You give me the confidence to sew.. thank you

[@SewnByNikki]

That's the goal! You CAN do it!! Trust me, you can! If you watch some of my other tutorials, I walk you through step by step to show you how to and why you need to do the steps. Slow starting out but take your time..... rushing produces a sloppy project anyway! You got this!! : )

[@sassywhite6198]

I really appreciate that you did this as a very simple one. I am brand new to sewing, so I need to build confidence with easy peasy projects for a while. I didn't understand the part about measuring for doing a sewing machine cover. I am EXTEMELY math stupid. Do you think you could do a more in depth tutorial on that? ?I like that you are easy to understand. Also, it looked like you were sewing with the foot raised. Is that helpful?

[@karenwidmaier4739]

Thank you for this tutorial

[@chantlful]

Very easy to follow! 👌🏾Thanks soooo much for sharing! 👍🏾💕

[@JosyJo14]

Thank you So much for this tutorial... You give me inspiration to sew more... Cheers Jo

[@bernadettehalter3617]

Your pattern design and video were great and very easy to follow. I made the outside 20 X 28 and the inside 19 X 27 3/4. I liked a snugger fit. the inside I made smaller so that when I turned it inside out the lining didn't show.

[@SewnByNikki]

Sounds great! You made it work for you! That is the way to do it. Glad it was helpful.

[@linnettewilliamson4071]

Great tutorial. I like tht you explain things specially the ‘why’. When I understand the why I need to do something it helps to keep understand what I need to do! Thank u! You make sewing easier!

[@SewnByNikki]

You're very welcome! That has been my goal for this channel - to teach you the WHY not just the how. Once you understand all of the why's of sewing, the "How" portions will come naturally and allow you to create easily. Thank you for your feedback.

[@linnettewilliamson4071]

@@SewnByNikki yes!!! You get it! I’ve seen so many videos that were good but I just couldn’t quite understand. I’m so excited! Thank u so much. Now hurry on and add me to ur fb group so I can soak up all tht info there too. Haha

[@livinmylife5182]

PLEASE do more videos.​@@SewnByNikki

You always have the best fabric! Such a great idea and well done! Merry Christmas 🇨🇦 🎄

[@amyjordan4110]

Omg, you are the best, I have 6 people I'm going to make this for and I love not using interface because will fit when I put in travel bag PLUS this will so work for my vacuum sealer in my kichen

[@SewnByNikki]

You're welcome 😊 I noted in the description that I wanted mine snug on the side and loose on top (for my pens and weeders), so use the measurements larger if you need.

[@edieworonicz246]

Very nice. Why can’t you measure and cut both fabrics at the same time, then sew them at same time. Thanks. What material was the white fabric?

[@elle9306]

Thanks for the tutorial! The other ones I found were so confusing.

[@momof3insprings]

I need to make a cover for my sewing machine. I understand the boxes an how to measure for depth but what about height for that one continuous piece? Thank you

[@SewnByNikki]

Hello. You can measure the height of what you need and cut your fabric to that height, adding 1" extra for seams. Measure the width of your machine as well and add an additional 1" for seams - connect the two pieces at the top with tops of fabric together. The type of fabric you want to use would determine if you can use one piece or not, to avoid your fabric pattern placement being upside down.

[@YUMMY_YUMMZERS12]

What are the measurements of the fabrics for this please?

[@gsdmama2]

Hi there! Happy Holidays! I am new to you channel and sewing. You page was suggested by you tube. I am confused what size you cut your material at and what your seam allowance was. Thank you for this easy sew dust cover for the cricut.

[@mokesam3527]

What did you use for the Iining? Gonna make these for my sister and myself!

[@SewnByNikki]

In this video, I used regular cotton fabric; quilting cotton. I kept it simple. : )

Hi Nikki, I hope you get better soon, and may God bless you in all areas of your life Health and Wealth and Happiness, cause there's nothing too hard for Him to handle He is in control of everything.🙏🏾👍🏾😘

[@encarnacionada2]

Great idea Nikki I need a cover for my scan N cut have any idea 🥰

[@SewnByNikki]

Go for it! You can do it with these directions! Try!

[@mygeorge1951]

First of all, I truly enjoyed your video and will be making a Cricut Dust Cover for my sister friend. So I have a dilemma...I have the Brother SE1900 Embroidery Sewing machine. How do I create the cover for the machine that has the Embroidery Unit? The measurements for this machine are W 13.43 x D 23.19 x H 11.54. I'm having a difficult time finding a Pattern to make a Dust Cover for it. Thank you!

[@SewnByNikki]

Just increase your measurements to add 1 inch to the width, depth and height of your particular machine; the measurements you posted here. That will allow for seam allowance. Sew the panels together. You will have enough seam allowance adding the extra inch to each panel.

[@mygeorge1951]

@@SewnByNikki Thank you!!! (:

[@robynstanton5581]

What size do cut fabric

[@kayleighjennings4812]

Totally new to sewing but wanted something to cover my workhorse (my cricut) what is the name of the fabric you used for the inside? Thank you 🙏

[@SewnByNikki]

I had to go back and take a look at it. : ) I lined it with regular white cotton fabric I had but you can insulate it with anything you would like.... it you want to give it body, try fusible fleece or pellon 809 on the back side of your outer fabric....

[@kayleighjennings4812]

@@SewnByNikki thank you 😍❤ x

[@sharona8737]

That same project I swear would take me two hours LOL

[@SewnByNikki]

No it wouldn't!! It is quite simple, I promise! Are you in Florida? I am having a hands on-mini sewing retreat in May and October that you may benefit from; 3 days of learning from me!! : )
