You’ll need:

2 yards of fabric

Thread

Sewing Machine

Fabric scissors

Straight pins

Stencil

Foam stencil brush

Fabric paint

 

I looked for fabric in the outdoor fabric section of Joanns. I wanted something water resistant and durable, but you could make these placemats with any type of fabric.

Two yards gave me four placemats size 18 inches by 15 inches.

 

 

Wash and iron your fabric. Cut your fabric and pin the right sides together.

 

Sew the rectangle but leave a few inches for an opening to turn the fabric inside out. Cut excess fabric away and cut the corners before you turn your placemat inside out.

 

I ironed the fabric again before I sewed it the last time to get crisp edges. I sewed around the perimeter of the placemat making sure to sew up the opening that was left from before.

Lastly, I measured where I wanted to put my “L” stencil and used a foam brush to apply the fabric paint to the stencil.

 

 

I’m still debating whether or not I want to apply Scotchgard to further protect them, not sure if I will like the texture.

 

 

Farmhouse Table

 

 

 

 

This is my first attempt at a farmhouse table and it is truly gorgeous! The turned legs and dark walnut finish are my favorite part of the design. This table is the perfect combination of rustic elegance. Because it is a prototype, I am offering it for only $500.

Dimensions: 5 ft 11in (l) x 3 ft 1 in (w) x 31 in (h)
