Vacuum Cleaner Covers

I also make covers for upright vacuum cleaners, using an enlarged version of the bag holders.  The dresses are made with a little over 3 yards of fabric and 5 yards of lace.  [For comparison:  the bag holder dresses are made of 5/8 yard of fabric with 1 1/4 yards of lace.] 

These covers are special order only.  I do not carry them in stock.  Below are some of the covers I have made.  If you would like me to make a vacuum cover that is a larger version of one of my bags but is not pictured below (for example a Honey Bear vacuum cover), let me know.  I love a challenge!

Cost: $75 (except the giraffe which is $90), shipping included to addresses in the US.   Foreign orders are shipped First Class International with varying fees depending upon the location.  Allow extra time to receive covers, especially the cat, which takes the longest.

TROPICAL LADY COVER

Fabric Samples

Cover on right: customer wanted darker skin tone.  Darker basket used for contrast.

Cover on left: customer wanted medium skin tone. Lighter basket used for contrast.  (I goofed!  I measured incorrectly and ended up with a longer skirt!)

Cat Cover

Customers sometimes order a black and white fake fur cat cover. 

 

Cover at right: One customer allowed me to pick the fake fur to go with the chosen fabric.  The result was the honey and ivory cover.

 

Cover at left: The customer chose the fabric for the "dress" and allowed me to choose the "fur" fabric.  Since one of the cats was on the print was reddish, I chose an "Irish Setter" red fur. 

INDIAN MAIDEN COVER

Customer wanted a vacuum cover in shape of an Indian Maiden holding a dream catcher.  Besides black yarn braids, the cover has a necklace of "turquoise" beads to match the small accents in the Native American fabric print.

FROG COVER
Fabric Samples

Cover at left: for a relative who is a nurse and also a "frog" person.  Fabric had frog doctors and nurses.  I added the smock and cap.  Since it was for a relative, I also filled the pockets with "nursing" supplies.

Cover on right: customer chose aqua fabric for dress and  two-tone chartreuse skin.

 

Cover at left: customer chose two-tone green skin.

Cow Cover

ZEBRA COVER
Fabric Samples

Chosen fabric not enough yardage for entire "dress."  Used original choice for main body of dress and added coordinating "giraffe body" print fabric to bottom for ruffle.  Customer requested ability to remove "dress" for cleaning; casing and drawstring added to neckline. Because of this, "hoofs" were not attached as is usually done.  Velcro was ineffective for temporary joining, so "arms" were left outstretched. 

"I love you THIS much!" 

WOLF COVER

Top photo: The customer wanted a wolf vacuum cover and requested that it "hold" a feather duster.  There was an extra charge for this addition.  The result is shown here.

Bottom photo: Customer didn't want a feather duster.  So this one became the Big Bad Wolf from "Little Red Ridinghood." The vacuum cover has a cap, "glasses," and carries a basket with a tag "Property of Little Red Ridinghood."

"Grandma, what big eyes you have!"

GIRAFFE COVER - $90 **
Fabric Samples

From head to shoulders, the giraffe cover measures 40 inches!  I needed a heavy dowel rod and bungee cord to keep the head and neck up when the cover is attached to the upright vacuum.  The result is rather awkward to set up but a humorous item to see afterwards.

** Due to the added weight and oversize package needed to send this item, the giraffe cover is more expensive.
