Ironing Mats

I came across this product, the Touch Up Topper online. It is a heat resistant mat that lays over your dryer to use as an ironing surface. It has magnets in the corners to help hold it in place. I thought that sounded like a good idea, and found a few other versions of ironing mats in my searches.

• Large mat with grid for measuring and cutting fabric as well! (With scissors, not rolling cutters, as far as I can tell)
• Silicone pad that claims to iron both sides at once.

Yahoo! Here is a link to Little Birdie Secrets' tutorial on how to make your own ironing pad. I would like to give this one a try, I think I will add magnets to the corners so it can go on top of the dryer if I wish. Then I can get rid of my bulky, screechy, hunk of an ironing board.
