Very nice indeed! I "need" them for the standard machines I have (some with wider carriages), and trying to find them in the wild is next to impossible.

Surely you don't have to hem plastic. 

Those look brilliant. I've had this in my head for aeons, but the sewing machine just stays in its little place. Why won't it just get up and sew me some dust covers??

I think that's the majority opinion. I happen to have four vinyl covers on my desk at the moment, one is from Olympia, one from Royal, a store-branded cover, and plain generic cover. All four of them have hemmed edges. The bottom was folded over on the Olympia cover and welded while the other three were all stitched, the Royal with an elaborate pattern. 

I have been thinking about making my own typewriter covers for years, but I never got up the courage to actually do it.  I have an old treadle Singer sewing machine that was Maw's (It all works--I put it in tune recently).  I was going to get some material, make paper patterns, cut the material around the patterns, straight-pin everything together, and slowly sew it all together.  The trouble is, I'm a lousy seamster--I am not too sure of what I am doing with the sewing machine, except that it was Maw's.  I think I'd have a lousy cover--along with "hole-y" fingers!

Awwww!  That un's just simply darlin'.  Just simply darlin'.
