Using a straight stitch on your sewing machine, sew 3 straight
lines from the bottom of the pocket to the top edge.
Position the pocket a ½” from the left side of the placemat
edge, making it even with the first vertical seam on the right.
Pin the pocket in place on top of the placemat. The ruler in
this image is just to hold the fabric in place.
These three lines on the pocket will allow you to slip your
eating utensils and a napkin right onto your placemat! Next,
we will show you how to add ties to the placemat.
