Sewing pattern: Sewing machine mat and cover

With just a few simple buttons, this sewing machine mat turns into a sewing machine cover. Staci from Crafty Staci shares a tutorial at Sew Can She showing how you can make it. It’s such a smart design! When the sides are buttoned it’s a cover to keep the dust off of your machine. But unbutton the sides and it becomes a handy mat under your machine, with a pocket in the front to hold your notions.
