On Sunday I needed to just PUSH FABRIC UNDER THE NEEDLE. Like... for HOURS.. I bet you know the feeling... Not much sewing has been done lately and I wanted something simple.

Sew4Home has free patterns for the placemats that will fit a round table. Beep Beep... back up the truck... a ROUND TABLE? Did you KNOW I HAVE a round dining room table?
