One of the chores my 5 year old loves doing is laying the table at mealtimes. She can lay the cutlery a little haphazardly though, so I decided to make these pocketed placemats to help guide her a little. If you fancy making one too, here is how I did it! Items Used Instructions NOTE:…
This is my tabletop. This table gets used for so much more than just eating meals, and the constant use of it has started to really show. I’ve tried to use regular fabric tablecloths in the past, but my kiddo loves pulling on them mid meal, and my husband has said he finds tablecloths irritating….

Are you new to sewing and don’t know where to start? Let me help you! Today, I’ve got some printables for you to practice your sewing with. I originally made these up for my sister who is trying to learn how to sew, and I wish I had some of these sewing practice sheets when…
