I. Love this idea! I had a thought. Make a fitted cover like a pillowcase, with a fold one edge ( like those pillowcases you made) with the padding on one side. The pockets could be sewed in also. Then you could tuck extra fabric or patterns, or English piecing papers inside? 🤔
This is a great idea! I think I would have squared off the end that isn’t rounded. That stuff is pretty easy to cut with a razor knife! Just my opinion.
Be cautious when ironing from the front with thin boards. That heat will warp your green cutting mat on the back. They are very heat sensitive. 2nd…spin off a metal bobbin of your sewing thread, so magnet holds it. Less bulk to carry. Cut a nice rectangle of template plastic with gridding or plain and slide it in as a glue surface. If using the transparent template plastic. You can still see your green mat measurement’s beneath it even if you glue the green mat in place, the template plastic can slip out and be washed dried and slipped right back in. Also gives a nice surface for writing.
I love this handy lap table! I wonder if you could attach a snapped cord on which to store your spool of thread without risk of dropping it to roll around the car or airline floor?
@@susanivey8853 I was thinking that too. If you sewed a piece of elastic to your fabric and used a snap on one end it would make your spools or bobbins easy to change.
I take them everytime I fly ✅ 4" craft scissors or less are allowed in the cabin of the plane. I've been flying with scissors for at least 20 plus years...my bag goes through the scanner and not one time has anyone said anything...I even have them out while sewing/knitting on the plane. They are a TSA approved item✅
Cute!
I do a lot of cross stitching and this is perfect. Off to the dollar store. Thanks
Very smart indeed thank you 😊

Hello 👋 From Michigan I love watching your videos ❤️
Great ideas, so cute! Thank you for sharing. 💖 Ha! Your hair looks fine. 🤗
Those are great ideas.
Wish we werent going to be in the middle of a huge downsize move in April! Hope you repeat next year!
I wouldn’t glue cutting mat as you could take it out if necessary to use if needed😊
True....good point✅
Have you tried warming it up with a hair dryer or heat gun, to soften the glue?
Oh that's a great idea!!!
what is your project you are working on with the rectangles?
And to think they throw the same hardboard away at work but would do me no good as I do all the driving.
You are not going to be able to take those scissors on a place
