I've been meaning to make this for some time! I bought a couple square Clover tape measures last year for the project, and have finally gotten around to making it happen.
I did not use the pattern provided in the project (photocopy and enlarge, ugh). But fortunately the plastic part of the packaging on the tape measure served as a perfectly sized template to make a pattern. I also did not add the circle charms and so made one continuous side panel for the cover. I did make an applique for the "button" on the tape measure, which is not included in the instructions.
This was an easy enough project, definitely good practice for your ladder/invisible seam hand stitching! It's also very easy to adapt the pattern and just use the idea for your own tape measure cozy if you can't source any of the square Clover ones (they are available on Amazon, btw).
One of these will be for one of my sewing kits, the other will be sent to my mom as one of her birthday gifts next month.
