Hello! I can’t wait to show you what I have made today.
You see…
I bought myself a new sewing machine just a little after Christmas and I’m finding ideas to make projects! My ole’ Singer sewing machine has finally retired!
Anyho, here it is…
this project was sooo easy, you beginners can do this! It took me 30 minutes from start to finish!
Okay, here what I did. I outlined the existing placemat with a Mark-B Gone marker on two-piece of pre-washed drop cloth. I stitch (if only you can see it in picture below) 1/2” from the marker’s line. I cut along the line with pinky shears and shook it well to release the threads. Do yourself a favor, don’t pull hard if they don’t want to come off, just snip them and from time to time, there will be more fray from wash.
I cut out letters on laser paper using Cricut Plantin SchoolBook, size 2-1/2'”. I stapled (yep, you got that right, a stapler!) the paper onto the placemat including the insides pieces for “e” and an “a”. Using Pebeo Porcelaine brown paint pen was a piece of cake! Remove paper and staples and there you have a easy peasy placemat! Wait for it to dry at least 24 hours before you wash it (it was already dry within an hour).
That is all to it!
I only made one for my kitchen counter!
Like it? I do! :)
Now that’s one project I’ve done…. hm? What’s next?!
More to come…
have a great day!
