Abstract
Abstract A portable sewing machine carrying case including a cover within which a sewing machine may be secured. An accessory tray and a lid for the accessory tray are each oriented atop the carrying case cover by a handle which projects upwardly from the carrying case cover through apertures in the tray and lid. The lid is additionally formed with depending fingers which engage the sidewalls of the carrying case cover to orient the lid in closed position. The fingers depending from the lid are inturned so that the lid, when removed from atop the carrying case cover, may be hung by the inturned fingers alongside the carrying case cover sidewall.
