My parents are flying over from NZ next week to visit, so I thought I'd better make like a lady and whip up some placemats!
I used left over pieces of my IKEA fabric, (geez that turned out to be such a good buy), and I layered some tetron/dacron/wadding in between this and some semi-coordinating yellow cotton fabric for the backing. I topstitched around each edge, and then again 20mm in to make a neat border.
We used to make these all the time at esdesign many moons ago, not sure if they're still whipping them up, but I remember they sold well!
