Easy Sew Halloween Placemat With Witch’s Hat Utensil Holder

Browsing around my JoAnn Fabric and Craft Store I stumbled on this darling witch silhouette design and was instantly inspired to make these easy sew DIY Halloween placemats. And what do you think of my witch’s hat utensil holders?

I’m personally in love! They look so cute on my island bar. (We just painted the kitchen a silver gray. I need to load some pics for you!)

And the best part… they take no time at all. I made my placemats 18.5 x 13.5″. You’ll need (per placemat):

• Witch silhouette fabric (with the seasonal fabrics), 1/2 yard
• Silver glitter polka dot fabric (in general fabric, on the wall in my JoAnn), less than an 1/8 yard (smallest you can purchase)
• Wonder Under (comes in a roll 15″ x 15 yards)
• Gray thread
• Ruffle, 1/4 yard (has a mesh backing)
• Clear ruler
• Cutter
• Cutting mat
• Optional: Stitch in the Ditch sewing foot, Sewing clips

Easy tutorial:

1. Cut – cut out placemats (being careful to match up designs, I used her nose as a guide), 18.5″ x 13.5″
2. Iron – iron Wonder Under to one side of fabric, line up and iron both sides together (thickens fabric without needing batting, could also use interfacing)
3. Cut – cut out witch’s hats, 4 3.4″ across top and 7 1/8″ inches to tip
4. Iron –  iron Wonder Under to one side of fabric, line up and iron both sides together
5. Cut,  clip, sew – cut embellishment to length (slightly longer than hat), clip and use a large stitch. If you have a rubber stylus, use it to hold the ruffles out of the way.
6. Measure, mark – measure placement on the placemat, mark
7. Sew – with a .30 stitch, sew witch’s hat utensil holder in place
8. Sew – with a .30 stitch, embellish the edge of the placemat, not necessary, but lovely
