I'd been mulling over the idea to have covers made to raise funds to improve the forum for quite a while, but decided there probably wouldn't be enough buyers to justify the effort. Still, it put the seed in my head to make them for myself, but I never thought of going the clear plastic route (I was thinking more along the lines of fabric). Clear covers are nice in that you still see the machine. What did you use for the seams? 

I'm wondering if thicker plastic would give me more the look I was envisioning.  These are a little wrinklier that I was thinking they would be.  Kind of makes the machines look like they were covered in saran wrap.  I was worried that the thicker plastic would be to hard to turn around corners.  Even with the thin plastic it was tricky.  I'm not much of a seamstress, lol.
 

Looks great. I would agree that perhaps a thicker plastic would be better?  I have a couple of plastic covers that I ordered from a typewriter seller. I prefer the plastic over the fabric due to being able to see the actual machine. I wish that I had the talent and patience to try this. Nice job!

I wonder if eliminating the elastic on the bottom edge would work better and would lessen the shrink-wrap look. Every cover that I have hangs loosely over the machine instead of compressing against it.
