Valentine Craft Projects - Valentine Placemats
Materials: 13 1/2' X 17 1/2" Valentine fabric or red print calico and
red & white
gingham (different fabrics for each side of placemats); 1" wide, white eyelet ruffle.
Note: To make 6 placemats, you will need 1 1/8 yds.
each of red and white checked gingham and red print calico. You will also need 8
yds of of white eyelet ruffling.
Instruction:
1. Cut 2 heart shapes (size of placemats desired) from fabric
pieces.
2. Place the 2 right sides of heart shaped fabric pieces
together and machine-stitch around the edge, with a strip of 1" wide white
eyelet ruffling stitched into the seam between the two layers of fabric.
3. Leave a small opening at the top of the heart (large enough
to turn right side out), and turn the place mat to the right side.
4. Press the raw edges of the opening to the inside so they
are not visible.
5. You may sew the opening closed but if you use this for a
Valentine's Day festive event you can allow the guests to fill the opening of
their placemats with fiberfill and sew them closed. This will give them a lovely
little pillow reminder of the event to take home.
