Have you recently purchased a sewing machine and like to bring it to classes?  Here is a great accessory for just that!  This handy mat sits right under your sewing machine and holds all your necessary tools and notions for class.  Also, you will be making a nice matching pin cushion and pressing pad!  This project is very easy, great for beginners and veteran sewers alike!  It is not necessary to add the embroidery designs to the front pockets but, being that we LOVE embroidery, we couldn’t help ourselves!!  You could even make the pockets out of clear vinyl if you wish.  The pattern for this class is available here at the store for $8.95.  This will be a two day class so there will be a charge of $20.  I hope this project will inspire you to sew up a nice trio of accessories for your sewing machine!! Come join us!!
