Tablecloth & Placemats

We haven't had a dining table in the dining room since 2 christmas's ago bacause I wanted chrintmas on the back verandah so I took the rectangular dining table out there for christmas & everyone loved it so much that it stayed out there. I put a lounge in the dining room instead. The weather has been quite rainy of late so I pulled upstairs an old round pine dining table. It's a little worse for ware after been stored underneath the house for so long. It needed a tablecloth & placemats for it but I wasn't wanting to buy them. I found an old white sheet in the linen cupboard & cut it into big squares & sewed them together with green zigzag stitch

I had one material placemat that I had bought a long time ago for 50cents at the op shop because I liked the pattern & was waiting for something to make with it. I unpicked it to make two then cut them in half to make 4 then backed them with some of the white sheet. Voila. A new tablecloth & 4 placemats.

They are my homegrown tomatoes & passionfruits in the bowl on the table by the way.
