A Moody Little Mat

I finished this mat a little while ago.

Nice small size

Easy bound edge, no backing.

A quick visual tutorial for binding the edge:

Cut a piece of cotton or flannel 1 inch wide 

(Note that here I used 1.5 inches and had to trim later)

Pin in place around your mat and stitch with a running stitch all around.

You can fold the raw edge at one or both ends for neat finish.

 

Trim away excess: 

 

Apologies, I don't show that I did cut the trim width down to 1 inch, 

1 inch is plenty wide enough.

Fold over and pin in place all around edge:

Make tiny stitches along the back, 

matching to your running stitch,

 to hold the trim in place.

 You're done!
