placemats.

All right, I staged some pictures of a pretend Thanksgiving table with the placemats, and no silverware. Because we're not actually eating. And honestly, they're all dirty in my sink.

Now that it's over I wished I would have made them white with a red ruffle. Because Fall colors are so yesterday. It's Christmas you know.

I think my favorite part it the back.

These are easy guys. I don't have a full tutorial on them, but basically I sewed two pieces of fabric right sides together {with interfacing}, clipped the corners and turned them inside out. Then sewed around the edges, twice. Then, of course, added a ruffle. Because I can't stop with the ruffles.

Good food always tastes better with a pretty table.
