This isn't a mess, it's creative freedom.
My sewing machine is probably my
favourite tool that I have, but I don't like looking at it all the time, so I decided to make a sewing machine cover for it. Here's the process I went through, the mistakes I made, and the mess I created.
I started with two pieces the length and height of my sewing machine plus 1/2 inch for seam allowance.
Two pieces height and width of sewing machine. 
Cut out a top piece which would be the length and width of the sewing machine. I didn't take a good picture of it while cutting it out. Plus I cut it too short so I patched it up. The patch does add more character to the project, sometimes mistakes aren't so terrible. I also cut out some interfacing for the top piece, just to add some structure to the case.
I decided to add some pockets to the side, plus some really cute buttons and embellishments. This was partly inspired by my childhood and all the precious moments colouring books. The characters in the books always had the cutest little patches on all of their clothes.
I used so many different stitches on this project. It was fun to discover stitches that I haven't used since I got my sewing machine.
I sewed all of the decorations on, I used interfacing for the pockets so they wouldn't slouch over when they were filled with sewing tools.
I just folded it and top stitched the pockets.
For the front I cut out a heart, and a little square and cute metallic button.
Start piecing the top to the front and back pieces, right sides together.
Piece the sides together, sorry about the lack of pictures, but I'm pretty sure you can figure this part out on your own.
Hem the bottom edge and you are done.
Happy Early(or late) Valentines Day, I hope you have a fantastic time with friends and family, and maybe even a significant other.
