Skill Level: Confident Beginner

Class Dates: Friday, January 15 - 6:30pm-8:30pm

Spruce up your dining table decor with these handmade reversible placemats.  In this beginner friendly class, students will practice sewing straight, even, consistent seams and topstitching.  Finished placemats measure approximately 18" wide by 12" tall. In this demo-style class, you'll learn how to make the placemats, then have the remainder of the class time to work on as many as you can finish.
