Delight your family Christmas morn with these clever place mats at the breakfast table. Next year, they’ll start asking for them right after Thanksgiving. Guaranteed!
The built-in – or rather sewn-in – Christmas stocking pockets make it fun for kids to set the table as well as a fun way to teach them where the utensils should be placed.
Supplies:
• Christmas fabric in two different prints – example measures 17 ½ by 12 inches and requires ½ yard of 36-inch wide fabric per place mat; ¼ yard of the second design will give you enough fabric for 7 stockings for 3 ½ place mats
• Quilt batting – enough for each place mat you are making plus two stockings each for silverware pockets
• Scribbles 3D Fabric Paints in gold and red
• Wrights Wide Bias Tape in green – each place mat requires approximately 56 inches
• Sewing machine
• Needle and thread
• Sewing pins
• Wrights red and green rick rack
• Aleene’s Ok to Wash It fabric glue
• Printout of stocking template
Instructions:Open a new word processing program document. Click on the template above and copy. Paste the template into the new document.
Click on the image and move it to the top left on the page. Move the cursor over the lower right corner until you can grab the corner and stretch the template so that the stocking measures approximately 6 ½ inches tall by 5 inches wide. [The template will be 7 ½ by 5 ¾.]
Print.
Wash and iron fabrics. Iron the bias tape leaving the folds as they are.
Come back tomorrow to begin assembling your Christmas place mats.
