Packed away sewing machine in its bag
First thing to do with the new sewing machine was to sew a protective bag for it, so I don't need to keep it in the box it came in.
On the bottom, the original styrofoam that was on the bottom of the box. Underneath it all the manuals. Then the machine slotted in it's place, with the pedal and power lead tucked neatly with it. The bag was sewn with the fold on the bottom, the excess corners cut so that the bottom is actually square, and of the offcut corners I made a pin cushion I filled with some unspun wool.
The bag has a hole on the other side so that the machine can be carried from its own handle instead of using the bag. The hole is covered by the excess of the bag folding over it.
