Hoover cover

[Mary M Anderson]

I have just "lost" my broom cupboard, and, as a result my vacuum cleaner is
without a home.
I would very much like to make a cover for it in the form of a maid. I can
then leave the cleaner in full view and it will look rather more
interesting.
Has anyone ever done anything like this? I am having difficulty with the
cleaner handle as it slopes and I am not quite sure how to tackle this
problem. Any ideas?

My thanks,
Mary

Mary ,

I made a vacuum cover in the form of a bunny and it is very cut standing in the
laundry room greeting us as we come and go . My vacuum is also a hoover , with
a sloped handle and I haven't had a problem with cover fitting on it .
I got my pattern at craft fair , and I can't remember if there wasa maid or
not maybe you could write them and ask . Their address is
Four Jay Crafts
6169 Ashley Ct.

Hope this was of some help

McCall has a pattern for making these. Check at Hancocks.
Good Luck, I am going to tackle one for myself.

My sister made one for her vacuum, and it is SOOOO cute!! It's a bunny (a
pretty girl bunny). If my vacuum didn't have its own cupboard, it would
definitely have a bunny!

They have vaccuum covers in Centipede catalog. Real nice! Have not tried one
yet myself.

I made one of the "Bunny" vaccuum covers for my mom last year for Christmas.
I had fun making it. I think the best part was when I finished it. Of course
I had to try it for a while to make sure it was done right. My dog absolutely
went nuts barking at this "intruder"! It was such a funny sight. I had
started one for my self and decided to make it into a squeezable bunny by
sewing the bottom shut and adding arms and legs. One of these days I'll get
around to making him some clothes. : )

I used the McCalls Crafts pattern 752. It looked nice and did a fine job
covering the vaccuum. My vaccuum also has the curved handle. I think the
head sits a little more to the front than an ordinary bunny would to
compensate for this.

Have fun! Cristie
