How to Make a Self Binding Placemat | a Shabby Fabrics Tutorial

[@Alunamai]

I'm going to attemp these, if I can make them, I will make placemats for my wedding!

[@ShabbyFabrics]

That’s an amazing idea! We’re happy this project inspires you!! -Michelle

[@jimdavidson3345]

I have made this type of baby blanket -no batting needed; however, I definitely want batting in my placemats. I made the turning opening a little larger; measured the placemat; cut batting about 1/4” smaller in length and width; stuffed into finished fabric mat; wiggled, arranged and smoothed batting into fabric; pinned carefully into place; stitched opening closed; and then did some simple quilting to hold all layers together. I found it very helpful to build a test placemat with some less than precious fabric. Turned out great! Once I made a couple, they went together quickly. Thanks for the great idea of using the baby blanket method for quick placemats!

[@reneearnold4430]

Thank you so much! I had to watch several times to see how those corners were sewn. I made my border 1” so it ended up looking like a binding. Perfect! Just what I wanted. Thank you! Made one for my nightstand.

[@susanowen1709]

It's nice when the instructor leaves the error in their tutorial, as you did with the "oops, ironed the wrong edge." It shows the viewer how to correct that type of error, and it's comforting to a beginner like me to see that even the experts make mistakes sometimes. (To quote one of my favorite movies, "From failing, you learn. From success, not so much.") The placemat turned out absolutely gorgeous, and the method looks pretty easy. Adding this to my "crafts I might actually make someday" playlist 🙂

Hi Jen & Michelle. This is a fabulous tutorial and so easy to follow. I've just finished two placemats today in some fab Christmas fabric. Will be sending to my daughter for her and hubby for Xmas. This is the best video I've found for clear, no fuss and easy construction for this type of placemat which comes out perfect every time as long as you are concise with your measurements. I enjoyed making these and thrilled with the results. I added fusible fleece interfacing to make them more sturdy. I also made a matching half apron. These mats are a great gift idea. 🎄👏😊💖 Thanks so much from Australia 🦘

[@ShabbyFabrics]

Thank you for your kind words. We're glad that these types of projects inspire you. Thanks for watching!! 💖 -Michelle

[@23nightmoon]

Thank you for the great tutorial. It works out quite nice. I like it. I made the first one and turned it before I snipped the corners, just to check my miters. It felt quite flimsy. So I added a layer of fusible fleece (pellon 987F) 17" x 11 3/4" centered on the wrong side of the back piece before I sewed the project together. Then proceed as in the tutorial. This made a much more substantial feeling placement.

[@kcastillo0319]

Thanks, this is beautiful. One thing I do to help myself - on the opening for turning, while still right sides together, I use my hera marker to crease a fold line, just lining up my ruler on the seam and then creasing the gap with the creasing tool. Helps me because I'm so sloppy at closing those openings. I don't know why I can't be as neat as you. I hope you get to enjoy friends and family this year. I've missed those gatherings, too. Thank you for the tutorial.

[@maureenmccrackin6933]

This is brilliant! I can see that it would be easy to adjust the measurements to make a table runner too. For another variation, you could piece the centre section. I have used your grocery bag technique to make many Christmas gifts. I just started some for Christmas 2022. Your 'magic' pillowcases are another favourite. Thank you so much!

That's absolutely correct. It is so easy to scale this project into other sizes. Thanks for watching! -Bethany

Stunning...that poinsettia fabric is to die for. I'm using up a small hoard of fabrics from over the decades, and thought of making them into table place mats/runners - thus landing on your great video. Boy did I over think that project...first try: interfacing + sheet of poly fill + quilting...ugh. Then this video...simplified and certainly easy. I bought a bolt of Pellon 808 Craft Fuse (it's single-fusible stabilizer) so I'll add that to add body (and to use it up!). I love how your pattern skips the step of edge binding by using the back fabric as the binding. Genius! :) Keep up the good ideas!!

I noticed that you did not use interfacing to give it some firmness. Would adding it be too much? These placements are beautiful!

[@Munthebun]

Adding batting or interfacing would totally be fine!

[@ShabbyFabrics]

You can definitely add a batting or interfacing. We would recommend adding it only to the center poinsettia fabric, and quilt it first before cutting it down to the size required for the placemat. Then, once the placemat is complete, you could follow up with some more quilting to make sure everything is secure. Hope this helps! 💖 -Michelle

[@cherylcurlee3279]

I would definitely want some batting in my placemats, or fusible fleece.

[@tonyajones5922]

Beautiful, but I would want to add batting in order to quilt it. This way when it's washed it will hold form and remain just as beautiful. Well done!

[@barbarabunker2791]

The problem with interfacing only the top fabric is that the border fabric wouldn’t be included. So the answer would be to interface the backing/border fabric before sewing. Barb in Colorado

[@Alicia652]

I do like to make placemats for each month/season and have most months already done. But I love this simple technique for the binding! Wish I had seen this much earlier. But from this point on, I will be using this fantastic idea! 😊Thanks for sharing it! ❤

Thank you for the placement download. I was washing fabric today. Now I have the perfect pattern. My fabric is covered with gingerbread kids. I'll pair it with red dotted fabric. I hope you all enjoy Christmas. Hi from Connecticut.🌷🌷
