Day 6th of Christmas 2013
Christmas Place Setting
Supplies for 2 placemats…2 fusible placemats, 4 fat quarters, 2 extra wide bias tapeSupplies for 2 silverware holder stockings…1 fat quarter for lining, one for stocking and 1 for cuff ( these should be enough to make 4 stockings)
warm and natural batting a little bit bigger than your fat quarter so about 20 x 24 or just use scraps!
Frixtion pen, spray adhesive or fabric glue stick, chop stick ( for turning )
Directions for placemats…
Put (washed and ironed) fabric wrong side down on both back and front of the fusible placemat, make sure your iron is on medium heat and HAS the steam on. With this placemat sandwiched in between your fabric…slowly place iron down and hold with lots of pressure for about 10 to 15 seconds, I did 13 cause 15 seemed to long J Just make sure to hold it down with lots of pressure this is what adheres both sides. When you are sure the fabric is secure, take your frixtion pen and draw around the placemat and trim to the edge. Quilt the placemat as your want and then add bias tape on the back .Then turn to the front and use a decorative stitch to stitch the bias tape the rest of the way.
Directions for silverware holder stockings…
Copy stocking pattern on cardstock and cut out. Then lay your pattern down on your fabric and batting and loosely cut out about an inch around the 2 stocking pattern you traced. Take front and back pieces with right side out, and adhere batting to back of each one and quilt as desired. Then cut out 2 lining pieces each.
Cut 2 cuffs at 2 ½ x 9 ½ , with right sides together sew 3 edges and turn and press ,then press cuff in half. With right sides together of the lining and the outside of the stocking (sew 2 inches down at inside of top of stocking , look at pattern ). Open both of those 2 inch seams press open. 1.Lay down lining right side up, then lay down your cuff, open up and middles meeting with raw edges at top, then lay down stocking on top (right side down ) and sew across the top all the way.
Open stocking, fold in half length sides wrong sides together and finish on the 2 inch seam you already sewed and finish sewing all the way around the rest of the stocking, leaving opening in lining foot. Clip all your curves and pull through opening, press and then sew shut the opening and shove lining back into stocking and press…TADA you are done!
