Most sewing machines come with a flimsy plastic dust cover which is not very attractive if you have to leave your sewing machine out.  If you make a new sewing machine cover you can leave your sewing machine out in any room in the house without it collecting dust and looking ugly.  Dust is not good for your machine, so be sure to use a cover.  Sewing up a pretty cover will inspire you back to finish off all those projects you have planned.

This sewing machine cover has cute pockets on the side - we recommend thinking about which tools you need to keep in close range and designing pockets to fit rather than following a standard pattern - this project is in spanish but there are more photos available here - Isabel Granados
