Ironing mat / carry bag

During August's group meeting of our quilting group, we made a carry bag for our iron which, when opened up, convert into an ironing mat, perfect for going to classes, retreats etc.

The bag

My cute little travel iron

Snug as a bug inside the carry bag.

And opened up

The inside

and the outside.


Above is a photo of my different irons depicting just how small the traveling iron is.

I decorated my bag with some buttons of which I have loads.  Below are my containers containing all my embellishments, the top one for beads, buttons etc. the next one lace, ribbon etc. and the bottom big one packed with fat quarters.

I do not have a big stash of fabrics as I usually only buy fabric per project.

This was a very satisfying project as I only had to add the binding and buttons after our group meeting.  Not another UFO in the making.  

Now on to making some teddy bears for our guild's end of the year outreach.
