Are you looking to protect your valuable kitchen appliance from dust and dirt? A copriforno, or oven cover, is a simple and cost-effective solution. In this article, we will guide you through the sewing basics of making your own copriforno. Gather your materials and let’s get started!

Materials Needed:

  • Measuring tape
  • Fabric of your choice
  • Pins
  • Scissors
  • Sewing machine (or needle and thread)
  • Elastic band

Step 1: Measurements

Begin by measuring the dimensions of your oven. Measure the width, height, and depth. Add a few extra inches to each measurement to account for seam allowances and ease of use. Write down the measurements for reference.

Step 2: Cutting the Fabric

Using your measurements, cut two rectangular pieces of fabric. One piece will be the top of the cover, and the other will be the sides and bottom. Make sure to cut the fabric with the grain, following any pattern if applicable.

Step 3: Pinning and Sewing

With the wrong sides together, pin the side and bottom piece to the top piece. Ensure the edges are aligned and secure them with pins. Sew along the pinned edges, using a ½ inch seam allowance. Remember to backstitch at the beginning and end of each seam for added durability.

Step 4: Creating the Casing

On the bottom edge of the cover, fold over approximately 1 inch of fabric towards the wrong side. Sew along the folded edge, leaving a small gap to insert the elastic band later. This will create a casing that will secure the cover around your oven.

Step 5: Inserting the Elastic Band

Measure the circumference of your oven and cut a piece of elastic band that is slightly shorter. Attach a safety pin to one end of the elastic and insert it through the gap in the casing. Using the safety pin, guide the elastic all the way through the casing until it emerges from the other end. Overlap the ends of the elastic and sew them securely together.

Step 6: Finishing Touches

Trim any loose threads and give your copriforno a final press with an iron to remove any creases. You can personalize your cover by adding decorative elements such as appliques, embroidery, or fabric paint. Let your creativity shine!

Congratulations! You have successfully created your very own copriforno. Simply slide the cover over your oven and adjust the elastic band for a snug fit. Now you can keep your oven clean and protected in style!

Remember, sewing is a skill that improves with practice, so don’t be discouraged if your first attempt doesn’t turn out perfect. Keep experimenting and refining your technique. Happy sewing!
