Here are the placemats. I have just one to go as I ran out of binding. My challenge will be to finish that last one and not leave it sitting there, lonley in my sewing room for 5 years!
This was my ingenious idea . . . I have one child that just can't keep food on his plate and makes an awful mess when he eats. Last time I made mats, I didn't even make him one, as it would have been putrid after one meal.
This time, I had a "lightbulb moment"
I backed his placemat with the PVC coated fabric. I put a different binding on it so we can tell when it's the other way around. When he has a meal, he just turns it over, and then has to wipe it clean.
So far so good - I was pretty pleased with myself.

Lovely place mats and what a good idea with the PVC fabric.
10 out of 10 for the PVC backing. I have a messy eater here, if he isn't slopping food he is spilling a dring love him.
Great set, Annie - and what a good idea with the PVC fabric... I need a placemat like that... actually, I need a big - did you realise I was so messy??

Very pretty Annie -- I love the red and gray together!
They are beautiful, I can see how I could sew some placemats for our table with the amount of leftover scraps that I have. Excellent idea, thank you so much.
they look brilliant and such a very clever idea! xxx
Good Site! I wondered if I would be able site some of your site and use a handful of items for a school assignment. Please let me know through email whether that would be fine. Thanks
