Default Covers for our beloved machines. Who makes them?

With all the crafty people around here, I'm hoping someone makes covers for the machines we all know and love (or knows someone who does). I'm redoing my craft room and not everything will be in cabinets now.

I have various ecutters and manual machines and will be happy to take measurements and/or pictures if necessary. I'd also get the fabric and send it to the seamstress if that's what she prefers.

If these could be made out of paper, I'd be in like Flynn. Unfortunately, my sewing skills are rudimentary at best!

If someone knows of a sewing board I could take this request to, I'd be very thankful for the link.

My own sewing skills are not up to such a task, but I do know that many of the machine companies sell storage/tote bags to cover their machines- Sizzix for the Big Shot and Cricut for the Cuttlebug for example. That's probably not quite what you're looking for, but just thought I'd add my two cents.
My trusty Big Shot hardly sits still long enough to gather dust, but if I were looking for a cover for it I would probably take the quick and easy route and use a nice tea towel or soft fabric placemat or something like that, just draped over top. Come to think of it, that might be a good use for all those decorative tea towels and napkins I have stuffed in the cupboard that I'm too afraid to use!

Yes, nice towels are what I'm using now! I'd rather have a cover than a bag/tote, especially since most of the machines I have don't have a bag available. Ideally, I'd like matchy matchy covers.

Silhouette sells covers for their cutting machines, too.

Hi! Quite some time ago, I saw some on ebay. Don't recall prices, or shipping though. It might be worth taking a look. Maybe Etsy too!

There are a lot of people who make them on etsy. Just type Cricut Cover, Cameo Cover, etc. into the Search.

Kathy's Cozies by KathysCozies on Etsy

I have never ordered from Kathy but a friend had blogged about her covers and I had saved her etsy shop. Looks like she makes all sorts of covers.

Thank you so much for answering my post requesting machine covers! I love this board!

One of the parents of a child in class put me in touch with her sister, who sews and is local. She'll be able to come see the machines and take whatever measurements she needs, and can come back for "fittings" and whathaveyou.

Thanks again, ladies! I'll keep the links you recommended in case things don't work out here.

I had several hand embroidered tea towels that my Mum did years ago. When she passed away I brought them home..washed them all up and use them to drape over my cuttlebug, photo copier, printer etc. It makes me happy to see them being used and it reminds me of the Quaker (my Mums nick name!)

I've purchased several covers for Cricut and Big Shot machines, some for gifts, from this seller on etsy.com:

https://www.etsy.com/listing/1561028...earch_type=all

She has a ton of fabric options. If you email her, she'll send you a link to them.

The Silhouette Cameo covers also fit the Brother Scan n Cut machine.
