I wanted to make some fast placemats using fat quarters. These fat quarters are sunprinted fabrics but they work with any sets of fat quarters. The PDF tutorial is here.
These placemats are finished off with one of my favorite fast techniques, a twin-needle hem. If you haven't sewing garments or done any machine heirloom sewing you may have never used a twin-needle. You don't have to use a twin-needle hem, you can use 2 rows of straight stitches, a zig-zag or a decorative stitch.
