Remember last Thanksgiving when I WON a Silhouette Cameo? It was an exciting moment in my blogs life. I used to own a regular ole Silhouette and I was totally fine with it. I even made it a Dust Cover HERE. But when I won my new one, it went naked for a while. This has been on my to do list for about a year. Better late than never :)
You will need a piece of fabric that is 22 1/2" x 13". Then you need to print out the Edge PATTERN PIECE HERE. Made sure your edge pieces are facing opposite directions, you can cut on the fold too. Disclaimer: I used a serger to finish my edges, however if you want to add a hem, you might want to add a 1/2" to these measurements.
Then, with right sides together start pinning the edges to the main square of fabric.
It will soon look like this, then you sew. Clip Your corners after you sew.
Then I serged, or you could do 1/2" hem.
Now she's not naked, but she does have matching underwear :) Did anyone else make a custom face-plate or am I the only one? Oh come on guys, anyone?
did you ever watch mama's family as a kid??? well i did, and to this day it remains one of my favorite television shows. on mama's family, there was a character named iola and she was a crafter extraordinaire. she made "cozies" for everything, in including toilet paper. anyway, this reminds me of something iola would make. and i mean that in a good way!!!

Hey I saw you comment on lilblueboo and followed back to your blog. I'm in Houston too! Love your blog.
ReplyDeleteI've been wanting to do this for a while, thanks for the pattern! And yes, I plan to make a custom faceplate too, but I'm suffering from crafting ADD - I see a pattern I like, then 2 seconds I see another one I like, then 2 seconds later........get the picture? Now I have to figure out a fabric to use too!! Lord help me!
ReplyDeleteI've been meaning to make one of these for ages too, so thanks for the pattern!

Taylor, I stumbled across your site looking for other sites that might be selling the cameo dust cover. I don't sew, so making my own wasn't even a thought I had until a friend, who does sew, and I came across your site and this wonderful pattern. She made me one that is perfect for my craft room. Thanks so much for sharing this great idea and the pattern. I might be able to talk her (or my mom) into making me a cover for every season. How fun would that be???? I bookmarked your site so I can enjoy your other posts.
ReplyDeleteMy boyfriend just bought me a sewing machine for christmas and I just bought him a silhouette cameo. Thank you so much for this great pattern, this will be my first project as a beginning sewer!! Wish me luck :D
ReplyDeleteThis is great! I got a Cameo for Christmas & will be making one of these soon!! I also need to work on the faceplate, and some vinyl to make it 'my own'!! Thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteFor what it's worth, you don't have to SEW this. I created a Silhouette SD cover for my SADIE using the same pattern from the Crapivemade.com site.
ReplyDeleteHowever, instead of sewing, I used Beacon's 3-n-1 Adhesive. http://snap-schotts.blogspot.com/2011/10/some-of-sadies-talents.html is my blog on how I did this. So I'll be using the craft adhesive AGAIN and I won't have to break out the sewing machine! ;-)
Good tip!
Deletethanks so much for this! I have the duffle bag type case myself but I kow people that have a silhouette and no bag so I'll be making a couple as gifts! I do have one question though - what is the seam allowance in this pattern?
