Scrap busting: Self-Drafted Foam Block Cover

Last month, I tried to sew a foam block cover and it became my first sewing blooper of the year.  This is a correction project.  


The fabric is a 100% cotton left over from face mask sewing days.  It was previously pre-treated with a tumble in the washer and dryer before hitting the ironing board for a steam press.  The zipper is a teal colour invisible zipper pulled from the stash.  It is not a perfect match but as an invisible zipper that doesn't matter.  The zipper length was cut down to fit the size of the project.  


Project details

Seams:  2.6 straight stitch

Seam finish:  Serged

Fabric:  0.4 metres

Foam:  1 block, 49 cm x 19 cm x 5 cm

Zipper:  55 cm invisible zipper

Additional Tools & Supplies:  Cutting table, tailor's chalk, fabric scissors, pinking shears, pins, Janome sewing machine, invisible zipper foot, walking foot, iron, ironing board, Janome serger, screwdriver, pin cushion, threads and tea.  

Happy Sewing!
