OK. I love the idea of sewing, but in true Anticraft style, my sewing projects often consist of epic battles with my sewing machine and serger, tears over ruined fabrics, whining over thread tension, and just general chaos. I've completed only two projects without the help of my mom: a duvet cover made from two queen flat sheets, and my latest project - placemats. I just couldn't resist the temptation of another sewing project as a gift for my friend's birthday. I followed these instructions and I think they turned out pretty well. I bought a sweet little fat quarter bundle of Joel Dewberry fabrics from my favourite Etsy fabric store Fabric By The Yard. You better believe I'll be making more of these for my apartment and as gifts in the coming winter months!

These look great - that's beautiful fabric. Those are good directions too (except for the part where they just mention "slip stitch the opening closed - that's my least favorite part of doing sewing projects :)!)
