Sewing Machine Mat and Organizer Tutorial

Monday, March 10, 2025

 Hi friends!  Today I want to share a fun project I made for the Riley Blake Designs YouTube channel!  It's for a sewing machine mat that will keep your notions close by and organized during any sewing session, whether you're at home or away.


You've probably seen tutorials for these mats before but this one uses my Pineapple Block Cheater Print which is part of my Feels Like Home fabric collection with Riley Blake Designs.  Any cheater print would be cute for this project but you know I love Pineapple Blocks! This print features little 6" Pineapple Blocks so it has a big "wow" factor and would be cute in any sewing space.


Mine just so happens to match an ironing board cover that I made a few months ago. 
I'll share more about that project soon!  


The sewing mat has a large pocket on one side that is meant to hang off your sewing table.  You can customize the size of each compartment to hold all of your favorite notions. I especially love taking my mat to quilt retreats so that all of my notions stay in my own sewing space.  There's usually a lot going on at retreats and it's easy for things to get misplaced.


It also has ric rac on the side so you can roll it up for easy transport.
You could use some beautiful ribbon instead if you prefer.


Check out the YouTube video HERE for all the details.

Thanks for stopping by today.
Happy quilting!
