I had some requests to make a tutorial for the Silhouette Cameo dust cover I made around Christmastime. They are really quite simple!
Here’s what you’ll need to make your own:
1 Fat Quarter for the main piece
1 Fat Quarter (or a little less) for the two side pieces
Side Piece Pattern (Download here)
Trim down your main piece to 22″ W x 15″ H.
Fold your fabric for your two side pieces right sides together. Using the pattern piece, cut through both layers to get the two side pieces.
Pin one side piece to the 15″ side of the main piece. I’m not a huge pinner, but for this step, the more pins the better! Sew, using a 1/2″ seam. Using a set of pinking shears, serger, or zig zag stitch, finish these seams to keep them from fraying.
Pin and sew the other side piece on as well.
Lay on top of your machine, just to make sure everything lines up nicely.
Finish the bottom edge however you’d like. I serged one and stitched a rolled hem on one.
That’s it! Now you’ve got a nice neat cover for your Cameo!

I received my new sewing machine today. My original was made in 1965 and I wanted one that had a few more bells and whistles other than straight and zigzag stitch… This was my first project on my new machine. Took me a whole 20 minutes I think… :) <3
