Iron Tote/Mat

Getting Retreat Ready

I bought this pattern about 5 years ago
thinking it was a great idea!
I really needed one!
It drives me nuts to go to a class
and everyone is waiting around one iron.

Never again will I be standing wasting sewing time
for an iron and when I am done - button it up and go home.

I am going to my first retreat with
Quilter's Square

Super excited!
Now I just need a free pattern
for a cutting mat/ruler holder!
If you know where a free one is please leave a comment!

Do you have a little binding basket?
You should, then it doesn't roll across the room!
Your dog, cat, children don't unroll it playing catch!

I used (2) outside fabrics
(2) layers of cotton batting
(1) layer of Insul Bright

The pattern called for a heat resistant pad
on the inside fabric but I did not have any
So I used what I had on hand with the Insul Bright!

Nice place to press my pieces!

Oh no! I did something wrong but what?

How to fold the Iron Tote/Pressing Mat together?
Kaye Wood shows you how

It is a quick video showing binding,
elastic and button placement,
finally she shows you how to fold it up!

I cannot find the pattern I used online.
I bought it at a LQS and it is by Marie Sines.

I did find this one which includes the Ironing pad
