More Chalkboard Placemats

I made 4 more chalkboard placemats. I was planning on keeping 2 and then giving 2 away. But now I am feeling greedy, and I think I am going to keep them all to myself. Last time I made them I kind of just guessed around the corners. The final product was not that great. This time I adapted this make it and love it tutorial to sewing the bias tape on the placemats. Same idea as the door just reversed. I cut 4 pieces for the 4 sides, sewed them together and then attached them to the chalkboard and oilcloth. The corners look way better this time. Now I feel bad that Hilary got the bad placemats. We might have to trade some how.
