Seasonal Placemats


Some people assume because I like embroidery and making textile pictures and such, that I also like and am good at dressmaking, mending and other such activities. I shall put you right, I have a love hate relationship with regular sewing. I quite like it sometimes when things are going right but most of the time they don't..grrrr.. It is probably my fault in that I don't measure things correctly like with these placemats, although I thought I had and also not keeping a straight line while sewing. I wanted them to look different but I did want them all the same size but they are not. I like them now they are done apart from the sizing issue but there was a lot of frustration while making them.




The edge on the one below looks blue on the photo but it is actually green.

The fabrics were purchased, not my designs.

  1. Ditto! I can not use a sewing machine to save my life and i think patterns are evil! But think your placemats are very festive!
