My project is to make placemats for our dining tables. I bought the fabric a long time ago and it’s been sitting in a corner, collecting dust, waiting for me to make time to use it. I was finally motivated to get my placemats done when I realized that we were having a lot of people over and I wanted to be able to use our new dining table (but we currently don’t have enough placemats for everyone.)
The day I realized that I needed to get the placemats done was the two days before the party … so I had to get my act together. I stayed up really late on Friday cutting all of my fabric. The next night I attempted to sew all the placemats together. I spent 4 hours sewing it together and I still didn’t quite finish all 18 placemats (but I came close.)
The placemats turned out really well and I am happy with the way they turned out. The placemats did so well that I, unintentionally, inspired others to also create placemats for their homes. Placemats are an exceedingly easy sewing project and as long as you don’t try to create 18 all at once, it’s something that can definitely be finished in a weekend.
Now that I have finished my placemats weekend warrior project my next project will be to make a table runner. Hopefully the next weekend warrior project won’t take another month before it happens.
