What an awesome idea.
Make ironing mat.
The top fabric should be the same size as the batting and the bottom fabric should extend at least 1 5 out from the batting.
Ironing boards are good for clothing items etc but when it comes to ironing yards of fabric it s just really nice to have a wider space for ironing.
My ironing board simply isn t big enough and it would be a pain to keep moving everything around.
To make your own ironing mat you ll need.
I m working on a bigger project that will involve a lot of ironing.
You can make you diy ironing pad any size you want mine is about 35 square you will want to layer your insul bright between two layers of fabric.
So i decided to make an ironing mat which turns my table into a big ironing board.
Sew the three pieces together on three sides make sure to leave an opening on one edge.
I finally decided i was going to make my own ironing pad because it s just not practical to have a large permanent table taking up space in my house.
This is such a nice idea and i love the spotty fabric.
It can be more than that but it needs to be at least that minimum.
Not only do i need to make an ironing mat i have to give my washer and dryer a little pizzazz too.

You can make it any size you want with the cotton fabric of your choice and the heat resistant fabric will protect your table top.
Such a good idea.
You will use the opening to flip your ironing pad right side out so that the fleece and decorative fabrics are sandwiching the insul bright and the magnets.
One of the sizes you can buy measures about 17 by17 inches and you can get it in 1 2 inch thicknesses.
When not in use simply roll up the mat and tie it for easy storage.
Customizing the mat to meet your pressing or ironing needs will be a great benefit to you and make ironing easier on your body.
An ironing mat is a great addition to a sewing or craft space and is sometimes more convenient than an ironing board.
Before you sew your three pieces together make sure they are laid on top of one another in this order.
