I’ve learned that the right sewing tools can make all the difference between feeling stuck and feeling confident. One tool I reach for every single time is my CutterPillar Flip and Fold 48 cutting mat. It gives me plenty of room for big projects like apparel sewing or upcycling, but it also folds down so it doesn’t overwhelm my space when I’m working on smaller bags or quick sewing projects. I love that it adapts to whatever I’m making and it’s tough enough to handle a lot of rotary cutting without showing wear.
This mat showed all its versatility while I worked on my newest project: a free quilted tech case sewing pattern that just released! Having that extra cutting space meant I could cut everything accurately (and without constantly shifting fabric around). If you want to try a beginner-friendly sewing project that is adaptable to all your tech needs, you can download the free pattern on my website. It’s a simple, satisfying make and a great way to use fabrics you already love.

Good tools make creating so much more enjoyable! A solid cutting mat, sharp rotary cutter, and a few favorite notions take away the stress so you can focus on the fun of sewing. If you’ve been looking for a cutting mat that works for projects of all sizes, and is well worth the investment, the Cutterpillar Flip and Fold 48 has become my favorite for a reason - it just makes creating easier, and that builds confidence with every stitch!
