This week I attended my first sewing class. This class was intended for beginners and it was such a great experience. I have learnt to be a lot more confident with my sewing machine. We learnt how to make hems and seams and at the end of lesson we were able to make a lovely bag tidy. I plan to remake my bag tidy at a later point, just so I can practice some of the techniques I learnt during the lesson.

Today's little project I set myself, was to make a place mat. I thought this would be a good item to make, as it incorporates some of the techniques I used during my beginners lesson, like making a hem.



This was pretty simple to make really. The only difficult bit was getting the corners to meet nicely. Next time I need to make sure that the fabric I use is perfectly square and perhaps make the hem a little bigger!


Oh and also, actually make it a size that can be used with normal plates!
