Dust Mop Pattern and My Cleaning Buddy

Made this dust mop head for my Libman mop

using fleece scraps.

I wanted a machine washable dust mop instead of the disposable type.

My pattern consists of 3 main pieces:

bottom: 9 x 22 inches

lining: 7 x 18 inches

and 2 short ends/flaps 6-1/2 x 7 inches. 

The mop will slip into pockets formed by these 2 pieces

Above photo shows the layering of the pieces:

largest on bottom

lining centered on top of that

side pieces matching ends of lining.

The inner edge of the 2 small side pieces should be zig zagged or serged separately

before you layer all the pieces.

The"As" mark the spots in the photo.

The short ends are folded over twice then sewn together with a zig zag stitch

as shown by the "Bs" in the photo.

 Trim the corners as shown to reduce bulk.

Then on long side fold over once, pin and  and topstitch to secure.
Your fleece dust mop head is done!
Wasn't that quick and easy!

Now I am ready for my little helper, Gavin.

He has been busy practicing at home.

 He even cleans under the stove.

Hooray, I have a cleaning buddy!
