Free Charm Placemat Pattern




Here it is!
A "thank you!" pattern to mark reaching 300 posts on my blog.


I was asked if my first placemat pattern was 'charm friendly', and in truth, it isn't really. {But it's still a fun pattern to try!:)}
I took on the challenge and designed this placemat.
As it's name suggests, you need 9 charms (5 inch squares) to make one placemat.
Plus some fabric for the borders. This placemat has a pocket too. Guess I like pockets!
My sample above was made using some of the charms I received from Sandi - last Christmas? and the green is from a fat quarter she sent me too.



You don't have to make Christmas placemats!

But, you could make some for holiday gift giving!


I made a set of 4 for fall using my "October" charm pack.
If you look closely at the bottom right,
you can see I was able to use 2 matching charms to create my pocket block.
Pretty fun, eh!

  2. I just found your site today, after searching Pinterest for place mat tutorials. Your site is so cute, and I’ll definitely be adding it to my favorites so I can come back for a visit! I’m going to give these a try for Christmas gifts for my mom. Thanks for the instructions! I’m a newbie at sewing, I actually just got my sewing machine about a week ago. Hopefully I can pull these off!

  3. Thank you for sharing your wonderful site and pattern with others. I am so happy that I found a pattern that I could mail to my older sister. She sews but has never had a computer to my knowledge. Shirley
