If you don't know by now, I just love Halloween and I am being trying to figure out what would make my Halloween dinning table complete. Of course I need Halloween place mats! I had a lot of Halloween fabric from last year because every year I go purchase any new cute Halloween fabric from Joann's. I went through my seasonal place mats and I noticed that I had black place mats that were looking pretty old and I did not want to throw them out so as a crafter what we do best?!
Re-purpose it with new fabric of course!
I decide to make each place mat differently, the first fabric I chose was from Joann's last year collection but they also brought it back this year. It has witches hats and pumpkins on it, I think its a very popular fabric for them to have it again this year. The first thing I did was cut the fabric a few inches smaller than the original place mat I am going to attach it to.
Then I cut the border fabric into strips of an inch and half.
All I did was sew the border to the center fabric and then iron it flat by the seems.
The last step is to sew the black place mat to the Halloween fabric and now you have your finished place mat.
I did two different versions of the Halloween place mats. The last place mat edges where not perfect but it adds to the imperfection of Halloween!
Till next time,
