Description
Feathered Friends is a five-piece accessory set built around the Singer Featherweight 221 and 222, and it works just as well for any small machine that travels to classes and retreats. The set makes three zippered bags in graduated sizes, a padded Bed Sleeve that doubles as a Thread Catcher, and a vinyl-topped pad that guards your work surface. Every piece is sized to nest inside the companion Stitcher's Suitcase, so the whole kit packs down into one cushioned, organized system.
What the Pattern Includes
This listing is for the printed paper pattern only. Fabric, stabilizer, zippers, vinyl, and notions are not included.
The pattern covers all five projects with full-color, step-by-step instructions: the zippered bag trio in small, medium, and large; the Bed Sleeve and Thread Catcher; and the Vinyl Pad, with two design options. A coupon for the $5 Add-On Video is included at no extra charge. The video walks through the more detailed steps and supports the printed instructions rather than replacing them.
What You'll Need
Each piece uses quilting-weight cotton for the main and lining fabrics, with ByAnnie's Soft and Stable for structure. One yard of Soft and Stable (36" x 58") makes all five projects.
- Main fabric: fat eighth (Vinyl Pad), fat quarter (small bag and Bed Sleeve), up to ⅝ yard (medium) and ¾ yard (large); one yard makes all three bags
- Lining fabric: same amounts as the main fabric for each project
- Coordinating fabric for bindings and strap tabs: fat quarter for the bags and for the Vinyl Pad
- Handbag zippers: one 30" double-slide zipper per zippered bag, made from ByAnnie's Zippers by the Yard
- Vinyl: 8" x 15" for the Vinyl Pad (e.g. ByAnnie's Premium Clear Vinyl, 16-gauge)
- Fusible interfacing throughout (e.g. Shape-Flex Fusible Woven Interfacing), plus optional ByAnnie's Tool-Free Snaps to attach the Thread Catcher
Full cutting dimensions and yardages for every piece are inside the pattern.
Perfect For
- Singer Featherweight 221 and 222 owners who want coordinated storage and protection for travel
- Sewists who carry a small machine to classes, retreats, or guild meetings
- Makers who already sew ByAnnie patterns and want to pair this with the Stitcher's Suitcase
- Anyone looking for a set of beginner-level zipper projects in one pattern
- A practical handmade gift for a Featherweight collector
Why You'll Love This Pattern
The three zippered bags open along three sides, so the whole interior folds back and you can see everything at once. Reaching a bobbin, a foot pedal, or a coil of cord means opening a bag, not digging through it. The three sizes give cords, tools, and notions their own homes instead of one crowded pouch.
The Bed Sleeve is the detail that ties the set together. It slips over the fold-up bed extension to protect it in transit, then snaps to the Vinyl Pad while you sew so thread trimmings drop straight into it. One piece does two jobs, with nothing extra to pack.
ByAnnie's Soft and Stable gives each piece a firm, cushioned body that holds its shape, which is what keeps a small machine and its parts protected on the road. The construction stays approachable for a beginner, and the included Add-On Video coupon covers the few steps that are easier to follow when you can watch them.
