What You Need to Sew the Toy Mat and Storage Bin

Fabric –

• Storage Bin – You will need a woven or non-stretch fabric. Cotton, quilting cotton, flannel, denim, cotton lawn, canvas or upholstery fabric would work. For a more stable bin, we recommend at least one heavy weight fabric.

• Toy Mat – Suitable fabrics are medium weight woven fabrics (e.g. 100% cotton, quilting cotton, rayon). If you wish to have the mat wipe clean, you could use a shower or water-proof fabric such as PUL, nylon, softshell, or ripstop.

You will also need:

• 60 inches wide High Loft Fusible Fleece Interfacing – approximately 1.25 yards.
  • NOTE – There are many other types of stabilizers that can be used, they may effect the finished look if they are not similar to the Fusible Fleece.

• OPTIONAL Bias Binding – Double fold bias binding that is 1/2 inch wide when finished. You can buy/make 1 inch wide single fold bias binding and fold in half down its center line to make 1/2 inch wide. Approximately 4.25 yards will be sufficient. If you would like to create your own Bias Binding please use our free tutorial on making Bias Binding.
• 3/4 inch wide sew in hook and loop tape – approximately 5 inches will be sufficient for all pieces.
  • TIP – Using adhesive backed hook and loop tape is not recommended. The adhesive will cause your needle to become sticky and can cause harm to your sewing machine.
• 1.5 inch wide Webbing – You will need 2 x 13 inch long pieces for the side handles.
• 4 x 1/2 wide Eyelet hardware
• OPTIONAL 1x Zipper – 10 inches – if making Zip Pocket.
