how to upholster a sewing machine

Wishi Washi Studio is experiencing some luxurious downtime right now so there are no workshop photos to share this week.

And, I've been meaning to share this compelling sequence on:  how to upholster a sewing machine

Last year I had an exhibit entitled: Preparing for Evanescence and it included three series': sedimentals, suspendables and upholsterables.  

My treadle sewing machine cried out to be upholstered.  And, this is how it happened: 

1. Start with a sewing machine.

2. and then do this.

And, these are shots of the completed and installed Upholsterable: Sewing Machine in the pantry of Preparing for Evanescence:
