New Sewing Machine Mat

Well as I mentioned I have been spending a bit of time getting some sewing projects done these holidays...not to mention watching a heap of DVD's. I have moved out onto the dining table to sew...that way I can also have the DVD playing at the same time. The problem with that is the machine leaves little black scuff marks on my table especially as I push and pull it out of the way.


So my solution was to sew myself a mat....I made it with wadding inside so there is some cushioning to protect the table and also have pockets to keep things like scissors, unpicker (my close friend), ruler, pencil etc close at hand and voila! here it is.
I am pretty happy with how it turned out....great value.... $3 for 1/2 a metre of fabric and I used a left over piece of wadding.
