Placemats with Chalkboard Fabric

Posted on | March 13, 2010 | 1 Comment

Okay – this was fun. It was a little tough to sew because you can’t use pins on chalkboard fabric, but it worked out well.

It’s so tempting to keep these for myself! (it’s a gift)  The fabric is Michael Miller’s Modern Family. The other side is chalkboard fabric. And there is basic double-wide bias tape sewn onto the edges.

I wanted to mitre the corners of the bias tape, but it was very tough with the chalkboard fabric, so I skipped that and just took the bias tape to the edges.

    When I saw these in my Google reader I thought, “I hope they’re for me.”

    Yay!! Thank you so much! I’m really excited about these. Color’s perfect. Design is perfect. And you know my fascination with chalkboard paint, which clearly extends to chalkboard fabric.
