Sew Animal Placemats with Sanae Ishida

Make meal times more fun for your little ones with these animal-themed placemats. Their clean,
minimal style is easy to achieve with basic sewing machine skills. Author, illustrator, and maker
Sanae Ishida not only shows you how to cut and sew your placemats and use fusible interfacing, but
she also teaches you some basic pattern-drafting skills to create your own template. You can make
a pointy-eared version and a round-eared version and play a guessing game as to what kind of
animals they could be. You'll also learn how to sew a small pocket that is a handy place for utensils,
napkins, small toys, or a sweet note. Finished dimensions are 15 1/2" wide x 14" high including ears.
