This was much easier to put together that I thought. I made 2 nap mats and they have been through 3 children and still going strong!

I have made several of these, when my oldest was in preschool she used it on top of the nap cots they provided. Simple easy to read directions!

I bought this pattern on Sunday and the material on Monday. I was able to get one complete during my girls nap time today. Very easy to follow instructions! My girls are going to sleep in style at Mother's Day Out this year.

This was so easy to make! I made one for my daughter, but it is not padded enough. I bought some thick batting and doubled it up. Then adjusted where I put the velcro straps to account for the extra padding. I also made it a tad longer to make the pillow bigger too because I have a very tall 3 year old. The pattern was great though! Very detailed and clear :) Thank you!

What a great book. Easy to follow and my little girl now refuses to sleep in her bed. Loved it.

Ihave not made this yet but did see some at a local craft fair selling for $30.00 each. They were so cute. I will make these for my grandchildren in the near future.

I've made 3 of these and plan on making one for another little girl for Christmas. They're relatively easy to make, the directions are clear and easy to follow. My daughter loves her nap mat. And she loves the mini-one I created for her doll that matches hers.

I am such a procastonator, lol. I bought this tutorial last night, went today & bought materials, spent the afternoon making it. Was really nervous because I'm a beginner sewer. Have been sewing for about a year now but haven't sewn since High School and have been re-teaching myself. This tutorial is great for beginners. My son will be able to start pre-k in the morning now w/ his new custom made nap mat. Thanks for the awesome tutorial
