We're learning to sew another snack mat today to make your coffee, tea, and snack time more fun. Today you'll learn how to make your own appliquéd pumpkin snack mat / mug rug / coaster with a pocket for a napkin and cutlery (or a snack). Keep it at home to decorate your table, take it to work to make your lunchtime feel even more festive, or send it in your child's lunchbox to make your child's school lunchtime feel even more special. You'll even get the directions on how to make the cute little 7" x 7" reversible cloth napkin!
For this project you will need:
- fabric scraps for the applique
- fabric for the front, back, pocket, and napkin
- cotton batting
- paper-backed fusible web like HeatnBond light
- pencil
- fabric clips or pins
- iron
- sewing machine and matching thread
