This is an afternoon project that can definitely be a scrap buster and works great with fat quarters! You can use your favorite fabrics to create your own vinyl placemats. These placemats are water-resistant, durable, and have a pocket to hold those paper products that easily get blown away with a breeze. Plus, you can use your favorite fabrics to brighten up any outdoor dining space (how about your favorite team fabric to watch a big game outside or novelty fabrics for an outdoor movie night? – there are so many fun possibilities!). The added bonus – they wipe clean with a damp cloth!. For this post, I used HeatnBond Iron-On Vinyl (Matte), Fusible Fleece, Medium Weight Interfacing, and HeatnBond Fabric Fuse PeelnStick Fabric Adhesive Tape...plus, I give you some pro-tips in my post. Visit the tutorial post for a complete and detailed supply list.
To find the seam roller and wonder clips used in my post, along with other supplies/tools listed, visit my Patio Placemats Supply List on Amazon (full disclosure: as an Amazon Influencer, I earn from qualifying purchases - I only share products I actually use - and I truly appreciate you shopping from my links, thank you!)
Are you familiar with Heatnbond Iron-On Vinyl? Heatnbond Iron-On Vinyl is a flexible, water resistant coating that you iron onto the top of your fabrics to laminate them. It comes in a gloss or matte finish, is permanent, and is sewable with a regular or non-stick foot. It is a UV resistant, water repellent material that can be used with fabric or paper. Iron-on vinyl allows you to laminate your favorite fabrics - perfect for make-up bags, placemats, tote bags, chair seat covers, aprons, art smocks, etc...
