Supplies

  • A pretty placemat. Buy one of those singles you see on the clearance rack for a fragment of their original cost.
  • 1 12-inch non-separating zipper
  • Matching embroidery thread.
  • Victorian Glamour Monograms from ABC designs.

    Instructions:

    1. Fold your place mat in half and find the center line. Center your monogram from side to side but closer to the top from top to bottom because part of the bottom will be lost when you miter your bottom corners. Embroider your monogram making sure the design is rotated the correct direction. The top of your monogram should be at the top of the short side of your place mat.

    2. Now open your zipper and sew one side to one edge of the top of the place mat. Pin the remaining side of the zipper tape to the other short end of the place mat and stitch. You will now be able to see that you have your bag almost done. Sew your side seams with the zipper open so you can get into the bag to turn it later.
