Buy a cute placemat. I was so excited to take a picture of it that I forgot to iron it! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">2. Cut the backing fabric the same width and 8 inches longer than the length of the placemat.  Cut the backing fabric in half width wise. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">3. With the wrong side of the backing fabric facing up, fold over 1/4 inch on the edge you just cut. Sew.
