Honestly, i never make placemat before ^^. It's because of yesterday, my mother asked me to sew some apron using an old bed sheet. The fabric was cotton batik called "Jumputan" because of the technique that used was by bunching the fabric with a thread before it was colored. You can see the pattern (the green center spot with white lining), it is typical for Batik Jumputan.
Then I read the table-stitch-table-set-tablescape-contest! by Sew Mama Sew!
So I grab the chance and made one placemat using the bed sheet scrap. Here it is,
I hope this can inspiring you like I did.
