How To Sew Fall Placemats

There are a lot of people who start on fall decor in September, and there are so many ways to save money by creating your own. The Sewing Room Channel tutorial on YouTube shows how to sew 4 patch placemats with cute fall fabrics. This is a creative way to make something that matches an exact placemat you prefer. I know there are many cute ones at the stores, but I think it’s nice to sew your own things around the house. Also, it’s easier to create placemats for every season with this tutorial that can be used as a base. This is a simple tutorial, and it’s easy to follow along. I love how everything is explained in small details with directions and measurements on the tutorial. Plus, I think making a bunch of placemats would be no problem and a great gift gifting item for families.

Supplies:

• 2 dark pieces of fabric  (7″ x 9 1/2″)
• 2 light pieces of fabric (7″ x 9 1/2″)
• 1 fabric (13 1/2″ x 18 1/2″)
• 1 cotton batting

Directions:

First, lay your fabric pieces where the two light and dark colors are going at opposite corners. Then, bring the dark fabric on top and stitch 1/4″ seam. Press the seams towards the darkest fabric.

Next, continue to watch The Sewing Room Channel tutorial on YouTube for full instructions and details on how to stitch the seams together to create a full fall placemat.

Overall, this is a great idea of the dining table for the fall season and holidays. Plus you can create any other type of placemats by using the other fabric combinations that match your style. This is an interesting way to use fabric scraps you may have around the house. I can’t wait to show this to my mom because she is obsessed with placemats.
