My friend in America once joked that as my hobbies include microscopy and quilting I should make some microscope cosies, also known as dust covers. This my first attempt, I have attached my appliqué shapes using Bondaweb and tomorrow I shall sew them on.
This will be the front. I shall probably appliqué “Amscope” on the other side for that is the make of my friend’s microscope.
After I have attached the sides to the top I shall line the microscope cosy with lint free microfibre cloth because cotton isn’t soft enought for optical equipment.
Looking good so far don’t you think?

On a larger scale, why not a telescope cozy?

Hmm. A lot of cloth in a telescope cosy, quite pricey to make. Would need a very long zip too. Do astronomers cover their instruments or just put on lens caps?
