cloths and placemats stoffine With a bit of colored cloth for a couple of floors and a semi-free afternoon, I sewed the new placemats for breakfast, after a disastrous washing machine that destroyed those who had ...:-((((((..
How did I do? explain it to you, even if it is fairly trivial and the most experienced sewing smile .... First I Cut a rectangle of rough cloth, ivory white, the right size for a placemat (I've taken the steps directly from placemats Survivors ...)... Then I cut out shapes from colored fabrics. I decided to make little houses and trees, but there really is no limit to the imagination ...
... I pinned the fabric forms ...
... and I sew. Small technical note: I made a simple stitching, not a zig zag, because I liked it with the black wire so that stand out a bit, I tried to make it through the zig zag thinner than my sewing machine but was allowed a crap, too big and flashy, short, ugly ... If you use cloth a little darker and you do the zig zag with white thread, maybe is better, who knows (the test to the next place mat ...)
And here comes the fun. For the back of the napkin I used rags floors, the kind of pure cotton, with a plot that seems honeycomb, I sewed the cloth with applications to cloth (right sides together, assuming that the cloth has a straight. ..), I left a small opening and I turned the job ...
At this point I have ironed everything well in order to crush the cloth, and to flatten the edges still I made a Stitching all around ... And here are the mats! One for me, one on Oak and King for a polecat!
