Continuing on my home entertaining theme – homemade placemats! I used some fabric leftover from my bedroom curtains (really should post photos of that soon) and this fall-ish cotton from Peapod to create reversible placemats.
I think I’m keeping this set, but since they’re so easy to make, I’ll be creating a few more for Christmas gifts.
Directions are simple:
1. Cut a 15 x 19-1/2′ rectangle of two pieces of fabric.
2. Place the front sides of the fabric together. starting from the center of any of the edges, stitch using a 1/2″ seam allowance.
3. Stitch all edges, leaving a 2″ gap between the end stitch and your first stitch.
4. Clip the corners, careful not cut into your stitching.
5. Turn inside out so that the wrong sides of the fabric are now together. Poke out
corners with a chopstick. Iron.
6. Topstitch using a 3/8″ allowance. If you want a second row of topstitching closer to the edge, use your zipper foot.
7. Press again, pour yourself a glass of wine, and set the table!
Hi there would you mind sharing which blog platform you’re using?
I’m going to start my own blog soon but I’m having a tough time deciding
between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your layout seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something completely unique.
P.S Sorry for being off-topic but I had to ask!
Hey there! I realize this is kind of off-topic but
I had to ask. Does building a well-established website such as yours require a large amount
of work? I’m brand new to writing a blog but I do write in my journal everyday.
I’d like to start a blog so I will be able to share my personal experience and
feelings online. Please let me know if you have any
kind of ideas or tips for new aspiring blog owners.
Appreciate it!
Howdy! This is kind of off topic but I need some guidance from an established blog.
Is it very difficult to set up your own blog? I’m not very techincal but I can figure things out
pretty fast. I’m thinking about setting up my own but I’m
not sure where to start. Do you have any
tips or suggestions? Many thanks
You actually make it seem so easy with your presentation however I find this matter to be really something which I believe I might never understand.
It seems too complex and very broad for me. I’m having a look forward to your next publish,
I will try to get the cling of it!
Hey! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any problems with hackers?
My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing many months of
hard work due to no data backup. Do you have any solutions to protect against hackers?
This web site really has all of the information and facts I wanted about this subject and didn’t
know who to ask.
I’ve learn some good stuff here. Certainly price bookmarking for
revisiting. I wonder how so much effort you place to create such a fantastic informative website.
Link exchange is nothing else except it is only placing the other person’s blog
link on your page at proper place and other person will also do similar in favor
of you.
