You have 4 different fabrics cut the same size oval. Take 2 fabrics, right sides together and sew around halfway. Take another fabric and put it right side together with ont of the open sides and sew that around 1/2. Take the last piece and add it to the open sides and sew each 1/2, leaving an opening to turn. Turn to the right side, press (and I topstitched so they would lay flatter). When you open them you have 4 choices for each placemat.

It's not letting me add the photos so I may have to put them in a new line.

They aren't hard...just a tad too bulky for me. :)

Sew cute!! I want to try one - it might be a frog experience.

Ya but they are thick and don't lay flat on the table. so you can't "use them" and if you just "display" them they look like books laying on the table. MY take I have some :thumbdown:

That's pretty cool. Maybe I'll use that as an idea for Christmas gifts. Winter theme / summer theme - something like that.

Thanks!!

That's right. We made these in our ASG group and they were so cute. You can do four seasons, holidays, characters etc. You have to really study the pattern and work slowly when constructing cause they can be a bit confusing. We all did some frogging.

They lay completely flat, just like any placemat.
