Sewing machine mat 2

I finally managed to finish the 3 pockets needed for this project.  I lost interest whilst embroidering the 2nd pocket when the whole thing became undone and popped out of the frame during the stitching of the satin stitch frame around the pocket.  So, I put it aside for the time being and worked on other projects.

The first pocket was stitched completely as designed by the Beyond the frame embroidery girls. 
It is a free design which is available for all who register on the site.

The second pocket was mirrored with the measuring tape omitted.
By printing a template with Embird software and carefully aligning it with
the embroidery already done; I was able to rescue this pocket with little damage.

The third one was also mirrored but with the embroidery thread omitted.
Not until it was finished, did I realize that the numbers on the measuring
tape, was also mirrored.

Hopefully this will help alleviate some of the space problems I have especially whilst embroidering when the laptop also needs desk space.  With most of the free motion work already done, this project is nearing its completion.
