DIRECTIONS

1 Measure the length and width of your place mat; add these two dimensions together, and multiply the sum by 2. Cut a piece of ribbon to this length.

2 Position one place mat on top of the other, back sides facing. Pin the top, bottom and sides together with one or two pins along each edge.

3 Using the yardstick and tailor’s chalk, measure and mark a rectangle on the front of one place mat 1½ to 2 inches from the perimeter all around. Pin the ribbon over the marked rectangle, beginning at the corner of one long edge, folding the ribbon over itself at the corner to run perpendicular along a short edge, and continuing in this manner until the ribbon meets where it started. Fold the ribbon under at the final corner to conceal the raw edge and let it extend beneath the ribbon stretched along the first long edge about 1 inch. Cut any excess ribbon. Note:If your place mat already has a border, forgo the ribbon and topstitch along the border’s inner edges, leaving a 6-inch opening along one short edge.

4 Starting about 2 inches from the end of one short edge, topstitch along one side of the ribbon toward the nearest corner, turn at the corner, and continue stitching all around until you reach 2 inches past the other corner along the short edge you started on, leaving a 6-inch opening on that side. Repeat this process, topstitching along the other edge of the ribbon.

5 Stuff polyester fiber into the cover through the opening. Topstitch along the ribbon’s edges at the opening to close pillow cover.
