My First Amp Cover

 

Hello Everyone,

I finally completed my first amp cover for one of E's amps.

E measured the amp he wanted a cover for, cut out the template using the tweed fabric we got him and I went to work. I then sewed on one of the Fender patches that I got him as a stocking stuffer this Christmas.


We will have to tweak the design a little bit, but, I'm happy with how it turned out and E is definitely happy with it. He has already started designing the next amp cover for him for another amp.

Have a great weekend!!

I'm linking up at these parties & TCB

    Alisha, I was just on pinterest and saw you were following. I jumped over to your boards and followed you as well. I like your style! I was trying to see if you had a blog to follow but I couldnt find it. I decided to check my email and there you were with a link to your blog. Crazy right! Wish I knew how to sew. I've tried but I get so frustrated. Perfectionist comes out in a ugly way. Maybe its becuase I have a hand me down machine. Anyway, glad you stopped by! I look forward to getting to know you better and seeing your new posts. Jamie

    Thanks for stopping by : ) My husband plays guitar...I would make him one, but he's always trading his amp for different ones on craigslist... I'll just have to wait until he's happy with one, lol. I guess that's just how musicians are : )

    You have inspired me to make some covers for the amps in our house. I am sure they will be less dusty (road construction behind our house) with them covered up. Thanks for sharing!

    Great job! I like how you still can use the handle on the amp with the cover on - very useful!

    I'm so glad you stopped by to say hi! My husband used to play the bass guitar in a band and now his amp sits up in our attic. we'll be moving soon and I know he wants to start playing again. I have a feeling it will make another appearance soon. So, I will definitely be trying this one out. Awesome work!!!

    Happily following you :-)
