Today we're learning how to make another St. Paddy's Day holiday project. Make your St. Patrick's Day coffee, tea, or snack time feel more festive by sewing your very own homemade shamrocks mug rug, snack mat, or mini pocket placemat. Keep it at home to decorate your table, take it to work to make your lunchtime feel even more special, send it in your child's lunchbox, or use it for a handmade Luck of the Irish gift.
For this project you will need:
- fabric scraps for the applique
- fabric for the front, back, pocket, and reversible cloth napkin
- cotton batting
- paper-backed fusible web like HeatnBond light
- pencil
- fabric clips or pins
- iron
- sewing machine and matching thread
- basting spray or powder
- scissors, rotary cutter, cutting mat, cutting ruler
- optional: walking foot or free motion foot, tear away stabilizer
- shamrock templates from pattern
