On Instagram, @Lillyellasworld<\/a> has a sew-a-long<\/a> happening for the Undercover Maker’s Mat<\/a>. The pattern is free<\/a>. People have made the whole mat and they are showing some great versions<\/a> of this pattern. I also saw one with a heart instead of a butterfly. Despite the foundation piecing, I am thinking of making one for retreats. I can’t see using it at home, but it would be really useful to keep everything organized while I am away.<\/p>\n

As a result, I was thinking about sewing machine mats in general. Before I madethe Undercover Maker’s Mat, I wanted to see what else what out there.\u00a0 As I am wont to do, I did an image search. I found a lot. Still, after sifting through the duplicates, I found a few that were interesting.<\/p>\n

I know you are wondering about the Crafty Gemini Sewing Machine Table Mat & Organizer<\/a>. I made it (and am not showing\u00a0 it to you yet, because it will be a gift, so stay tuned) and am not super happy with it. I didn’t do a crappy job and it isn’t ugly, but it isn’t for me. It’s possible I won’t like the Undercover Maker’s Mat either in which case I will try one of the other free tutorials that are available.<\/p>\n

One that was interesting was a tutorial from Michelle of Creatively Blonde<\/a>. I like the way it looks tailored and hangs down in the front of the machine.<\/p>\n

I also like the way the We All Sew tutorial<\/a> has a long length. I also like the rainbow.<\/p>\n

Katie from Katie’s Quilting Corner has a tutorial<\/a> that clearly shows how to customize the tutorial for the size of your sewing machine.<\/p>\n

The thing that is great about the Crafty Mummy pattern<\/a> is the scissor loop.<\/p>\n

I like the pattern in issue 35 of Love Patchwork & Quilting<\/a> – free pattern not available. I like the way the front hangs down. I don’t know that I would put all vinyl in the front, but I know why the vinyl is used.<\/p>\n

And then, I found that someone did a list of table mats<\/a> already.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
