This is a guide about making toilet tank/lid covers.All ArticlesSolutionsCraftsQuestionsNewestOldestMost HelpfulLeast HelpfulMost AnswersFewest AnswersBest AnswersRelevance FlagBy Monica4This is a denim toilet seat and tank cover set I made from some lightweight denim scraps I had, combined with an old doily and some scraps of lace.

Approximate Time: One afternoon Supplies: scraps of denim scissors sewing machine sewing thread misc. lace and trims one old doily steam iron paper patterns of toilet seat and tank lid 5 inch piece of thin elastic Instructions: li>First, trace your toilet seat lid and tank lid on a piece of newspaper. Puppies For Sale Chattanooga TennesseeAdd about 1 1/2 inches all around on each pattern for the seam allowance before cutting your pattern out of the newspaper. Cork Flooring Reducer(The seams won't be 1 1/2 inch, but smaller as you choose.) Moen Faucet Repair GreaseTake the patterns and lay over the toilet seat and tank to see if they look accurate to you. If you are satisfied with that patterns, lay onto the denim remnants and cut your pieces.

Cut one piece for the front of the lid cover and one for the back. Cut one piece for the tank lid cover and set aside. Pin the doily to the front piece and sew into place. Make sure the doily has been blocked, so it won't pucker when washed. Next, pin your lace between the front and back pieces. If you want to include a ruffle, cut an 8 inch piece for that now and make it three times as long as the diameter of the lid. Sew a basting stitch along one end of the ruffle and pull the thread to get the desired ruffle and pin to the "sandwich" of the front and back pieces and sew in place. If lace is desired on the hemmed edge of the ruffle, it can be added as it is hemmed. Note: Remember to press pieces as you sew with a steam iron. Turn rightside out, and press again if necessary. I realized at this point, I had forgotten to allow for extra fabric so the thing would fit over the widest part of the lid! It wouldn't go on, so I cut a slit up the back and hemmed the sides where the cut was and attached a piece of elastic so it would have a snug fit at the bottom most part of the cut.

It "fixed" my mistake. This was more of a challenge to myself to see what I could make with the scraps I had. Sometimes, even a mistake can be corrected so as not to spoil the finished project! Next, sew the tank lid cover. Cut a ruffle the same width as the other ruffle and sew a basting stitch all around it. When you are satisfied with the ruffle, attach the lace between the ruffle and the top, sewing into place. Press with a steam iron and you're done!

By Susie from Crawfordsville, IN Comment Question: FlagBy Beverly Ulveling0I need advice on how to sew a toilet tank cover. Not the top, but the large piece that holds the water. I have made a pattern for the seat cover and tank cover, but not quite sure about the actual tank. By Beverly from Phoenix, AZ Answer By kathleen williams Flag0Measure the sides and front of the toilet tank, then cut a rectangle a couple of inches larger. Attach elastic from the top corner of the rectangle end to the opposite corner, at the opposite end. Now do the same thing for the bottom corners, and you have a nice tank cover. To cover the lid, measure the width and length of the lid, and add three inches each to the width and length. Sew elastic around the edges and you're done. Make a lid cover by simply tracing the size of the lid onto newspaper, then cutting the fleece two inches larger, all the way around.

Sew elastic all the way around the edge and your tank set is complete. Reply By Sandi/Poor But Proud Flag0Be careful that your tank does not sweat, which most of them do. You might want to go to a fabric store and find the panels that are already elasticized so that you can make an "instant skirt" with the seam up the back?Then, just measure the top to bottom dimensions, cut and hem, then attach a piece of elastic from one side to the other, stretch that along the back of the tank just below where you put the lid on. Measure the elastic, cut and sew to the other side. Your tank if pretty and covered, but not so close to the porcelain that your fabric gets damaged. Reply By connie Flag0I was trying to 'quickly' do the same thing. I came up with this idea, which saved time, and let me change tank covers as often as I wanted.(which is at least once a week, to keep my hubby crazy!) Measure around tank from one side to the other, where you want cover.Make sure your tank is clean and dry. Using 'superglue', glue velcro down each side(or at least in 2 spots).
