Pretty Easter Table Setting
by Mary Wilkins
Easter Place Settings
Most of us have a large dinner of some sorts when the Easter holidays
arrive. With these pretty placemats and matching napkins, everyone will
feel just a little more special seated at your table.
The finished placemat is 17" x 12" The finished napkin is 16" square
Supplies: Easter fabrics, co-coordinating print and plain. Maybe
something to go with those special dishes you plan to use matching
thread and batting or flannel
PLACEMAT: For one placemat, cut print and plain fabric 18" x 13" Cut
batting or flannel 18" x 13" Measure across each corner and draw a line
at 3" interval Stack batting on bottom, print fabric right side up,
plain fabric face down. Stitch, using straight stitch around outer
edges, sewing across corners where marked. Leave an opening 4" wide to
turn right side out. Carefully, trim corners with scissors. Turn right
side out and hand stitch opening closed. Top stitch around entire top
1/2" from edge.
NAPKIN: Cut one piece of each fabric 17" square. Put right sides
together and stitch around outer edge. Leave 4" opening to turn right
side out. Trim corners and sides to lessen bulk. Carefully turn right
side out, pushing out corners gently. Turn right side out and stitch
opening closed. You can use decorative threads or contrasting colors to
topstitch napkin.
