I aquired a new table and chair set and needed some new table mats to protect it. Rather than buy mats I decided to make my own.
To start off I sewed pieces of material edge to edge, about an inch wide and then wove them together. Here I have secured them using pins.
I tacked all the pieces together then added wadding and backing. I stitched the pieces together going across, therefore ensuring that all the pieces were stitched together.
Finally I hand sewed the borders. The pattern is very effective and will be thick enough to protect my table from hot plates.
I now have coasters to make to match
