How to make an ironing mat | Sewing Tutorial

I’m working on a bigger project that will involve a lot of ironing. My ironing board simply isn’t big enough and it would be a pain to keep moving everything around. So I decided to make an ironing mat, which turns my table into a big ironing board. They key to this project is to use a layer of heat reflecting batting, which is made for potholders and such. Then you need some insulation layers and outer layers. These should all be cotton, because other fabrics may not be able to handle the heat. What you’ll need: 0,75 m heat reflecting batting 1,5 m cotton batting (or use old towels like I did) 1,5 m cotton fabric for the top and bottom (0,75 m each) 5 m bias tape Matching thread Sewing machine Fabric scissors If you make one of your own, I'd love to see it!
