Dinner Placemat

This is an easy way to sew a dinner placemat. You can change this into a seasonal placemat or birthday placemat just by using special fabric.

Sewing a Place Mat

You will need:
2- 11 x 13 inch pieces of fabric *
1 -11 x 13 inch piece of felt *
Coordinating bias tape

Place piece of felt in between two pieces of fabric with the fabric right sides facing out. Pin bias tape all around edges.

For further directions on sewing with bias tape see these sewing instructions.

Sew in place. This makes one place mat. To make a matching set, you will need twice as much material. One side of the tape should be on one side of the material and the other side of the bias tape should be on the back side of the material.



* For a larger size place mat use 13x17 inch fabric and 13 x 17 inch felt.
