Sew a Singer Featherweight Tote!

Recently I purchased the coolest sewing machine ever- a 1964 Singer Featherweight.  It comes in its own retro-cool green and white box with a handle on top- perfect for carting it to classes and on trips. As soon as it arrived I knew I was in love... but then the worry started.  How could I keep my baby safe on those trips away from home?  How could I protect her lovely finish from the rough and tumble world of her carrying case interior?  So I designed this- a Featherweight Tote. You can make one too- free instructions for the tote and a foot controller bag are at the link below!

An absolutely wonderful tote tutorial! A great idea to save the finish on our FW babies. I love the piping detail and the fact that you also put the controller bag instructions on there too. Thanks so much!

I had just pulled out fabric to make bags for my controllers and some of the feet for the machines I have that don't have attachment boxes. I've been pondering different sizes. Your tutorial came out just at the right time. Now I plan to also make a tote to save the paint on my recently acquired tan FW baby. I don't have all the notions yet, but plan to start making one tonight.

If OK with you, I'll add or link your blog to my favorite blogs. I'm still new at this so if you want me to remove it, let me know.

That totebag is so adorable and easy to make! I'll send you a photo I made out of retro Girl Scout fabric!

Awesome tote. Love your choice of fabrics. Great instructions. Don't have such a cool sewing machine, but I will make a tote for other uses.
