Really like your mat - think I have a mat I could do that with.

What a fun project...I need to make one of those.

Plastic pockets are perfect for organizing. Enjoy using your machine mat and thank you for sharing your smart ideas.

I really like that idea; everything at hand and easy to see. I need one so things don't go rolling away on me when they hit the floor. They sure can roll a long way.

Very nice, I saw one recently with a rubber underside, has anyone seen this, and what kind of rubber would be used?

Great project--

Nice reuse.

Thank you for sharing this. Am new to quilting (have only made one rag quilt) and am awaiting a new machine to be delivered later this week. I saw a couple other posts about these mats but this is the nicest I've seen and the plastic pockets are a great idea. It will be the first thing I sew on my new Janome and will post pics when done (as long as it's not awful):)

Adding this to my list of "must make". Love it!

Clever girl! I agree with the others, it will be a nice memory of your aunt. It is almost like you are sewing with her sitting right next to you.
