  1. That’s awfully cute. Most of my typewriters could use a dust cover though I would probably make covers out of semi-opaque vinyl – I like a blurry glimpse of the typewriter underneath.

  2. Good to share this, thanks. With four currently uncovered standards (five if I include the Olivetti Linea under the bed in a bin bag), I really could do with running up a few of these! I remember someone suggesting clear plastic? And then I wondered about getting fabric custom printed with an image of the typewriter…

    1. That is a great idea. Let’s do it!

  3. Yay! This is so cool! Thanks. 😊

  4. Now I need to go out and search the thrift stores for a sewing machine.

  5. At a flea market I found a large, square scarf with a historical design, paying what folks with great thrifts pay for old typewriters. I drape it over an SCM, and that’s that. It keeps the dust out, anyway. On another typewriter I drape a green furoshiki that someone gave me when I was in Japan in 1979. But, really, this is a great idea–and a post to bookmark.

  6. This link doesn’t work,it goes to Guitarsix
