Tutorial: Non-slip sewing machine foot pedal mat

Deby from So Sew Easy shows how you can make a no-slip mat to go under your sewing machine foot pedal. She designed this project as a solution to her wandering foot pedal that was causing her back pain.  Her pedal mat has a no-slip backing to keep it from moving even on a tile floor like hers, plus a backstop to keep the pedal from getting pushed off the back.

Easy Cosmetics Bag Sewing Pattern

The bag is simple, uses very little fabric (about 2/3rds of a fat quarter), has no fussy inside pockets (although you can add your own if you like), and takes me well less than 30 minutes to print the pattern, cut out and sew. But quick and simple doesn’t mean it’s not awesome!

It’s the sort of bag that is versatile enough to be used for lots of applications, not just cosmetics and toiletries. Keep all your pens and pencils in order, use it for a small first aid kit for the car, keep it in your desk at work for a few headache pills and other personal supplies.

Make some for yourself, for gifts or to sell.
