I have finished the microscope dust cover, or microscope cosy as I like to call it.
Here are some pictures of it being modelled on my Nikon S. It looks a little large because it was made for a taller trinocular AO Scope not the Nikon.
I’m rather pleased with it although I did too much fancy stitching which took a lot of time. In future I shall make rather less elaborate microscope cosies.

I should go into business, as my husband says there must be dozens of people around the world wanting microscope cosies.

Hello Spocks Sister,
Fab work. You could come up with great free motion quilting patterns based on cells seen through a microscope. An idea for your next microscope cosy…???

Yes, a great idea! The microscope cosies are small too, they will be good practice.
