I love this, thank you for the tutorial. I also prefer the longer videos with all the little details you add along the way. You are a wonderful teacher.

Hi! I just started sewing and I made this yesterday as my first project! It turned out great. The Binding Basics videos were great! Thank you!!! I agree with the other commenters...I like the longer videos. You're a great teacher!

Hello Jennifer, Thank you for the great video, I've been wanting to do this little mat for a long time and you've made it so easy. Thank you for the PDF of measurements, I can't wait to start.

I agree with Adna Omena it is so inspiring to watch you, but all too soon it's all over and I have to patiently wait for the next tutorial.  Wish it was much longer.  Still, thankyou for blessing us with your beautiful projects.

Finally made one just need to do the binding. Love your videos. They’re so easy to follow. I haven’t been sewing for long so to be able to follow along is so helpful. Thanks!

My first sewing project was a sewing machine mat with pockets. Your instructions are so much easier than the McCall's pattern that I used. Thank goodness I had my sister with many years of experience helping me. Their instructions were difficult to follow, my sister gave up and did it her way. I love my mat, maybe I'll make her yours for Christmas. She'll be surprised 😂😂😂😂

I just said today that I need to make an organizing mat for my sewing looked for a tutorial and there you are just in time. Thank you

I'm going to make this for my bedside. I'm tucking my tablet in the frame of my bed, my cell phone falls off the nightstand, so maybe a new home for tabby, my phone and my glasses!!! Thanks my dear!!

Thanks for the tutorials. Just an idea if you include handles top & bottom you would be to take it to class with your tools already to go.
