Well, after mucking around getting the sewing machine to work... (it was my grans and hasn't been used in a year or so), I finally got my cover made!!
The FOE was not too hard to use, just hope that my stretching is Ok... We will soon see. I did use FJ's tip and make sure I had a more than enough to go round!
Second cover is going to have gussets... I will attempt that later this week if I get a chance.
