Tutorial: Non-slip sewing machine mat organizer and thread catcher

This sewing machine mat will help keep your sewing tools close at hand.  The mat has a non-slip Amy from Friends Stitched Together shares a tutorial at So Sew Easy showing how to make one.  The mat has a non-slip backing to keep it from sliding around (and possibly taking your machine with it).  Pockets on the top of the mat will hold a seam ripper and other small notions.  And hanging from the side is a little thread catcher pocket.  She shows how you can cut all the pieces to get it all from a 1/2 yard of fabric.

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.
