A flexible lip is secured to the top edge of the main sheet and extends in from the top edge to cover at least a portion of the top of the covered item. The lip defines a hole in the cover that allows access to the covered item. The cover also has a separable seam, which can be separated at least in part to expose at least part of the covered portion of the top of the covered item without removing the entire cover. A method includes placing a flexible cover on a container. The flexible cover defines a top access hole that allows access to the container, and the cover has a separable seam extending down from a top of the flexible cover. The method also includes attaching the separable seam.
