Three Irons


Day 27! Another pretty basket of flowers!  Chain Stitch, Open Buttonhole Filler Stitch, Bouillon, Couching and French Knots 😊

Most quilters I know own multiple sewing machines - I have three.  They all serve different purposes, one for piecing, one for quilting and a smaller one to take to classes.

I also have three irons!  They all serve different purposes.  My steam iron, my dry iron and a smaller one to take to classes!

Everyone knows that having the right tools and equipment makes the task so much more enjoyable! ❤️





When I cleaned my sewing room, I rediscovered two iron tote patterns, a large one and a small one.  The pattern included the heat resistant fabric.  I know most of my friends made their iron totes quite some time ago, probably shortly after they bought the pattern, but I finally made my two today!

When open, these become a portable ironing mat, with the heat resistant fabric on the inside.  When folded up, it becomes a tote/storage container for your iron!

I made the little one for my mini Oliso iron and the larger one for my dry iron.  I'm pretty happy with the results!! 😄


FUN sewing day!!
