At our April, "I Love to Sew Club" Janet wowed the ladies with her version of the checkerboard placemat. Janet's inspiration came from the BabyLock “Patriotic Placemats” designed by Kelly Laws.
With some modification to the “Patriotic Placemat” pattern, Janet was able to create this fun “Checkerboard Placemat.” Janet used the Baby Lock Ovation serger wave stitch to finish the edges and the Baby Lock Sashiko to give the coaster a hand stitched look.
The checkerboard is made with "kraft-tex kraft paper fabric." This is the most interesting product to work with. It feels, wears, and looks like leather. It sews, cuts, and washes justlike fabric. Durable enough to make totes, belts, book covers and more! I'm offering a "just for fun challenge" to Janet, Dottie, Lisa, Jill, and anyone else out there, to unleash their creativity with the "kraft-tex kraft paper fabric." I'll be posting the projects as they are completed so stay tuned! The "kraft-tex kraft paper fabric is available in our store or online at: http://www.philsew.mybigcommerce.com/fabric/kraft-tex-fabric-paper/
It is available in three colors, natural, white, and black!
