(Ayy-ayy-ayy, Sauceman)
(Ryda, what you cookin' up?)

Yeah, all these hoes look up to you
Them ballers tryna fuck with you
No waist, but you got ass
You a freak, but you got class
Bitch play with you, you gon' spaz

Closet full of different bags
Fly to New York on a Tuesday
Just to shop and watch a movie
Hit Miami on a Friday, then we leave that bitch to fly away
Saudi Arabian gold presidential cover on my wrist
It's cold, I bought a Dior quilt just to cover up my bitch

You ain't a stepper dawg, so you can't come hang around this shit
I came up in DeKalb county, playin' around with all them bricks
I'm havin' paper like the Nasdaq
I bought a Urus and a 'Cat
I can't take my youngins nowhere 'cause they don't know how to act
They gon' switch some shit for surely
They might take a nigga jewelry
Letterman Givenchy, big money, and he keep it P
Bitch, I'm tryna smash some shit
I ain't tryna keep the peace
Label want an album from me, I'ma need an M at least
Come on, bae, let's fly to Greece
We gon' stay here 'bout a week
Ain't spinnin', you can't hang, beat it
Lil' charge in The Bay, I beat it
Paris fashion on me, uh
I put fashion on all her, uh
Got you rockin' designer

Love them nails and them toes
I came up movin' them 'bows
Latest year 'Rari, me and you
Private dinner, bae, me and you
These hoes ain't seein' you
Tennis bracelet and the ring too
Come on to the crib, come and vibe with a real one, it's mando'
I got scars all over me from trappin' out them bandos
Digi' scale with the residue
Lil' mama so pleasurable
Dinner time, we hit Eddie V's
Cali pull up 'bout a load of Ps (Cali pull up 'bout a load of Ps)

Yeah, all these hoes look up to you
Them ballers tryna fuck with you
No waist, but you got ass
You a freak, but you got class
Bitch play with you, you gon' spaz
Closet full of different bags

Saudi Arabian gold presidential cover on my wrist
It's cold, I bought a Dior quilt just to cover up my bitch

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Cover Up" by Man and Machine paint a vivid picture of a luxurious lifestyle revolving around excess and material possessions. The song seems to address a woman who exudes confidence and allure, with lyrics portraying her as someone who is admired by others. References to shopping trips to New York and Miami depict a high-flying lifestyle filled with opulence and extravagance.

The lyrics also touch upon themes of loyalty and protection, with lines like "Bitch play with you, you gon' spaz" suggesting a fierce protective instinct towards the woman in question. The mention of a "Saudi Arabian gold presidential cover" and a "Dior quilt" further emphasize the theme of concealing and adorning oneself with luxury items.

The song also delves into the rapper's background, highlighting his origins in DeKalb county and his experiences with illegal activities like dealing drugs ("playin' around with all them bricks"). There are mentions of wealth, with references to owning a Urus and a 'Cat, as well as the desire for a hefty sum for an album deal.

Throughout the lyrics, there is a juxtaposition of lavish experiences like dining at upscale restaurants and traveling to exotic locations, alongside darker themes of criminality and the challenges of raising young people in such an environment. The overall tone of the song conveys a mix of bravado, desire for luxury, and a sense of protection and loyalty towards loved ones.

I love this project. I would add a pocket on one side though for the foot pedal when transporting.

That is a great idea!

Leslye

Great project! I just bought (well in October) an industrial machine that I need a cover for. This is perfect! And thank you Rob for always being "human". The fact that you can laugh at yourself as your thread is running away means the world to me.

Great project Rob! My new cover will have "feed me...fabric and thread!" on the side. Thanks for a useful but fun project.

Faz

Eu amo seus projetos!! Obrigada por compartilhar seus conhecimentos! Parabéns por seus lindos trabalhos! Um abraço aqui do Brasil. Grata Nilzete.

Katee

Wow this is so nice! I've made a very simple one out of a cotton print fabric but I really love the fabric you found. It would protect it so much better! :) Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for doing this tutorial. I was just thinking how I need one to keep the dust off of my baby. Love your energy!!!

Mary Ellen Brennan

I'll have "Thanks Rob! I Love You!" written on my cover. You always have wonderful tutorials! Keep it up, please.

Winkie LaRoo

Excellent tutorial for a timely project, thank you Rob! I've been putting off fashioning some sort of cover for my long arm machine because I wasn't quite sure how to proceed or even what material to use, but thanks to you, now I am :)

I love this tutorial, so hard!! I love making super customizable, yet useful items for the sewing room!! Thanks for being awesome. I super seriously miss seeing your face in my feed every week though, I hope that all is ok, and selfishly, hope that it's only a temporary change. <3 <3 <3

Yes! Finally someone who gives printed instructions! Thank you for the simple, logical, minimalist instructions 🥰

@MS It is below the video in the description as a link. You won't see it on a smart TV. Look at the video on a computer.

MS

Hello can you tell me where can I get the printable? Can you share it with me plz?

Robin Brown

Perfect timing for this project! I need to make a couple of covers for my machines and you've just made it easy to figure out the measurements. I think I may try cutting just 3 sides for the handle access on one to minimize dust as I do not carry them often. Thanks Rob!

JoJo Sewist

I have been throwing ideas around for a flap of some sort to keep dust out of handle aea while machine is setting out in my house also. Plus a pocket for pedal and cord. and another pocket for the manual, as I keep it near whenever sewing. Just in case I need to check on something. But this is an excellent tutorial to get me started. Thanks for sharing. I am going to use a cheap plastic tablecloth as the fabric. I may line it and I may not.

Linda Mattson

Thank you for another great idea. I never would have thought of chalk cloth, but it looks almost like leather. Love the idea. Do you know if you can embroider on it?

Diana B

5y↑3

Hi Rob, hope your trip home from Road wasn't too cold. I'm going to order this chalk cloth and pen. It looks easy and fun to make! My sister Karrin needs a cover so I'll make one and send it to her. The classes were great at Road. I'm finishing my quilts for the cancer center here in Oregon. Take care! Diana

Francisca Sanchez

Thanks so much for all of your tips and being so funny and pleasant! I love my new cover! Enjoy your videos, now I will make the iron board project to have close to have close to my machine.

mystarstudios

I've been looking for a way to make a custom dust cover for my vintage 8mm film projectors that I have sitting out all the time. This is perfect! I don't sew, but my daughter-in-law does. The chalkboard fabric looks great, but could this also be done with oil cloth...or do you have another alternative for a heavy material?

gina Lovato

HI Rob just love ❤ this for mine thank you going to get me some chalk cloth love all your tutorials they help me so much I've had this sewing machine for some year's now and just got back in sewing again I am making my first quilt I'm liking how my block's are looking again thank you! 😆

This is SO easy to make; I can trick it out if I want; or not; either way this is simple and I love that aspect. TFS.

I love the idea of using chalk cloth -- I may do that if I have to replace the cover I made or if I help someone make one for their machine. Thank you!

QLT812

Loved the video😊❤️. It was very well explained and Easy to do. Changing my present cover to the chalk cloth😊🙌🏽

Patti Wolfe

5y↑2

Hi Rob - One, my sister said you put on a great show at the Villages! Two, any reason why you didn't hem the fabric first before putting the pieces together? Thanks for another great video. I made your iron "slipper" for myself and my sister.

Melissa Orona

I just made a quilted sewing machine cover, last week. It turned out so cute & I'm very happy with it, but I wish I had seen this video using chalk cloth first. Great idea! Brainstorming what I might be able to use chalk cloth on in the future. Thanks, Rob!

Tom Volkema

Fabulous ! Bought a large bolt of heavy scrap fabric at a discount/Goodwill for $6. I cut it so I could use the cool, fuzzy selvages as an edge along the bottom of this cover for my 1958 Singer 404. Gave a very nice, finished look. Now to get busy making more for my other vintage machines !!!! Also making one for my guitar amplifier. Thanks for this video.

Simon Panter

Thanks! You make it look so easy. I try to make covers like that, but by the time I get to the last side, one of the pieces it's always a touch longer, and they don't match up. I feel that my pieces are square, but they don't line up. I'm very new to sewing.

JoJo Sewist

3y↑1

Simon Panter: The fabric may have stretched as you were sewing. If it is not too much difference, just cut excess off. Just be sure other side fits whatever it has to be sewn to.
Be careful as stitching and try not to pull on the fabric. As Rob said just let the machine move it. You may need to use a walking foot, it keeps both pieces of a seam even. Good Luck

Mary Anne Cadd

Fun project; I have 5 machines (3 vintage, 1 serger and 1 embroidery) to cover. Thanks for the inspiration!

Juana Davila Brown

3y↑1

Loved it. I've been looking like crazy a YouTube video to show me how to make a custom cover for my SE 1900 Brother embroidery machine because you can't find anything out there to fit the dimensions of the machine. I shared your tutorial with my embroidery group in Facebook because we all were desperate for a cover. Thanks for sharing.

Mailie

Thank you. I was about to make a cover with similar material. Very helpful info.

Donna Lori

Rob, where would I find the seam guide you have on your machine? I’ve been searching Amazon, but I haven’t seen one that resembles yours exactly. Thank you. 💗

Christy Poos

Nice job Rob. I also like Debra Shores sewing machine cover. Her's is fully lined with a lift handle. Check it out for fun.

Julie Edgecombe

Hey Rob, thAnks for the great tutorial. My son is a professional DJ and he has a piece of equipment that he wants a cover for. This will be perfect. I just need to get a piece of the chalk cloth. Can you advise approximately how much it took for your cover?

Lumal1960 Маликова

Здорово,буду шить,спасибо за урок,понятно и просто!!!!!

Susan Treibs

Nice. I have made several covers, bags, all custom fit to what they need to cover.

Nancy Dublin

I like your enthusiasm and energy, Rob! Glad to see a man join the quilting club of the world! :)

marlowe5555

Hi Rob. Great video! Thanks for making and posting!

lizboz

Perfect timing! I need to make covers for my husband’s amp and speaker cabinet (same technique) and I should have enough to make a cover for my new machine, which didn’t come with any sort of cover 🧐

Kathryn Altergott

I made one, thanks for sharing how you did it.

Janis Lee

the video is very clear and helpful for making a sewing machine cover. thanks very much for sharing.

Bridgton1

Excellent no fru fru cover. Perfect! Your videos are very informative and you have high quality communication skills. No bullshit... thanks

Mary Lamm

Try spraying your artwork with a sealer, if you want to keep it. I've been wanting to make a cover, but didn't know how to sew it up right. You make it look easy, thanks.

Cela Bella

My cover looks awesome!! Great tutorial. Thanks

Sue Nuckles

I'd take a fabric pen and write on the back of each piece top, bottom, right, left etc. You could also make a loop to sew on the top as a handle.

Sandi Pyle

I am a new to sewing. I’m so excited for to get started. You take the fear out of every project you post. Thanks for your energy and excitement about every project.

Ann Williams

Have I missed some of Man Sewing tutorials? They seemed to be to be coming out every two weeks instead of weekly. I miss seeing them every Monday morning.

Suzi SaintJames

I'm confused! If you measure 17 and add one-inch... there's room for the plug to be plugged into the side of the machine? Or how much extra do I add in order to keep my machine plugged in and still be fully covered? ❤🌅🌵

Kathryn Altergott

Thanks. I’m making a quilted cover but now I have a starting point.

Trish Loves Dogs

Great tutorial Rob! I would probably write something like "love of my life" on my cover.....

Mary K Loves

Really enjoyed this video!

Thank you. ☺

Manalia Saucedo

Great project!!! Thanks Rob

Adia Craft

I have done one, with a hole on the top so I can lift my machine in its cover.
Thank youuu ROb!!

I need to see if I can modify these instructions to fit my Designer Diamond with the embroidery unit still attached, since the whole thing isn't exactly rectangular. Since I can sew with the emb unit on, though, I never take the thing off. It's HUGE and needs to be covered though!

lois willingham

measure the base first then measure the top. make the one side straight up and down, them angle the side with the embroidery unit to fit the base measurement make the side panels to these measurements and it should fit

Mike Cooks

Perfect. Thank you!

Lucy Ricardo

Hi Rob, I have the Brother SE1900 Embroidery Sewing machine. How do I create the cover for the Embroidery Unit? The measurements for this machine are W 13.43 x D 23.19 x H 11.54.

I'm having a difficult time finding a Pattern to make a Dust Cover for it. Thank you! I enjoyed your video tutorial!! (:

Carol Brumlow

I like the simplicity of this machine cover; however, I think when I make mine with the handle hole, I will not have a large hole for the handle which will let in the dust. I plan to make the slot for the handle and a flap across under the handle with a closure of some type. I haven't decided if that will be just a button and elastic loop or velcro. I always learn something new from your tutorials and get additional ideas. Thanks. Keep up the great tutorials.

Oldtimer Lee

5y↑4

Make a flap to put over that handle opening. Just a rectangle of fabric, a little larger than the handle opening. Finished on all four sides. Sew (top stitch) one long side adjacent to the opening. With the handle of your machine down, the flap will cover the opening. When you need the handle up, just raise the flap and pull up your handle. Once in the up position, the handle, itself, should hold the flap in place. If necessary, with the handle up, just fold the flap to the underside of the cover. Thus, best of both worlds, easy to transport with cover. And, dust free covering when the machine isn't in use.
Hope this helps.

Galadriel

You can now find Rob on his new channel " Making it fun with Rob Appell"

Bobcatt22

Could you have created a 2 piece cover - the end caps and the body? The top and sides would be one piece. Thumbs up on both production quality and content.

JoJo Sewist

Bobcat22: Thanks for reminding me of the plug. I too like to keep my machine plug in and covered. I am not sure what end caps are. But making the body and sides as one unit and then attaching top might work.

Carmen Boyd

This worked up so quickly with fabric on hand. Fits my Bernina 770QE. IMG_0522.jpeg

Melody Bentfield

What is that piece on your machine that keeps your fabric from moving? It looks like it screws into your machine to the right of your presser foot, and allows you to have a consistent seam allowance? One of my older machines has a screw hole in exactly that same spot, I wouldn’t mind knowing if I can buy something to go there!

JoJo Sewist

3y↑1

Melody Benfield : There are generic ones, and some brands have own. Mine is a Singer scew on Seam Guide . Just Google it.

Linda Davis

What is the stint length tor this fabric, Rob?

Kathy R R

Hello, thanks for the video. What brand is that sewing machine?

Regina Fultz

Hello, hope you are well. I ordered the seam guide that you use from MSQC and I have the baby lock machine but I can’t figure out where to screw it into my machine. The screw is too big for where I’m trying to put it, any ideas on how I can get this to work?

Mary Ellen Brennan

5y↑2

Take your sewing machine and the seam guide to a GOOD hardware store, a privately owned one, and ask for help in finding the correct size screw. The reason I say privately owned is because they are more likely to have exactly what you want. Those big home improvement stores really don't have a great selection, plus a lot of the people working in them have no idea what they're doing.

Kirsten Kane

I know this project has been here for a while but I have started using my grandmother's machine and it's from the 60's and doesn't have a cover, hence why I'm making one. Unfortunately the printable seems to no longer be available, can you please fix this? I really love your videos and want to use your pattern.

Dawn Mason

Audrey Daigle

Donna Tharge Ever thought about using waxed fabric (the one you might find garden table cloth is made of)? They come in large varieties of solids and bazillions of patterns, often sold by the yard. I like the texture and sturdiness of the fabric Rob used, but same here: Black doesn’t fit into my sewing room, plus: Dust will show up too quick on black, and I‘m definitely too lazy to clean it up every day. Should work the same.

wheni stop work on a prwhat stitch im using, then I use the pad somewhere else and have to search for it. lol. I would write all the information on the cover and never loose it again until i am done with the projectoject I write on a pad my stitch length and
