I love your editing style!! It's so dynamic and fun and light. And I love your use of the different camera set ups mixed in with handheld and the talking heads. Welcome back to UA-cam!!! I will forever be grateful that I learned how to sew from you 🥹
I see this video was posted a year ago so I am wondering how your pressing mat has held up. Does it smell musty or moldy? I'm asking that question because after watching several DIY videos on how to make a portable pressing mat, most say you need a reflective layer so the wood doesn't get moldy from the steam. I know wool is supposed to be a better pressing pad but I also know it holds the moisture in as well. Love the simplicity of your mat. Thank you for sharing your video!
This is so great and I'm so glad you got to use the IKEA fabric after all! I also recently noticed IKEA doesn't sell fabric anymore and am sad about that as well!
Yay! And I know you have a very organized home, which makes this an especially great project for you because you can really customize your ironing board to fit your specific needs.
I use 2 saw horses, but you can put this style of ironing board on any table top. Here are the saw horses I have: www.ikea.com/us/en/p/mittback-trestle-birch-30459997/
I too am a "presser", and can't believe that I've never considered a small ironing board placed right next to my sewing machine! What brand/model of iron do you use? It seemed like it produce a good amount of steam. Lastly, I love that IKEA fabric and it's a shame that they aren't selling fabric any longer.
Thank you! I've been thinking on making a small ironing board and this is super useful. I have a question though, I have a plastic board (for cutting vegetables) that is just perfect, would the plastic be fine if I put a lot of layers of quilting fabric (that filler thing I forgot the name 😅) and cotton fabrics on top?
The wool has held up great! I have a few of these me-made ironing boards and I haven’t had to change the wool out yet. A few of them are 10+ years old.

Thank you, Chimdi! And thanks so much for encouraging me to have fun with my videos. 🤗 I can't wait to sew together again!

It's a bummer! I wonder if they still sell sewing machines...
The bra TD in me shouted “11/16!” For the number between 5/8 and 3/4 😆😅
The technical director in you will be with you forever!! I love it!
This is such a good idea!! Now you have me thinking of what shapes would work well in my space for multi functional purposes 🧐

Talk to me about the "stand" your board sits on. I'm curious about your setup. Thanks!

Im curious about how hot the iron gets without using fire. How fast can u warm up a tortilla on the iron?
Great persistence to get a good outcome.
Congratulations
How is your wool holding up in the mat? Does it help to make your blocks flatter?

@@workroomsocial good to know, thank you. I’ve had a board ready to make one but I’ve been hesitating on making it. Now I will get it done! 😅
