Confetti Placemats
General Sewing
Make durable confetti placemats for Halloween from two layers of clear vinyl, a layer of colored nylon net, and decorative holiday confetti. Small, flat Halloween decorations, like the jack o' lanterns, ghosts, and bats shown here, can be mixed with the confetti. Random rows of machine stitching divide the placemat into compartments. For ease in stitching on vinyl, use a size 90/14 needle and a long stitch length. Loosen the needle thread tension, and stitch at a slow speed with a sheet of tissue paper under the placemat. Look for seasonal plastic or metallic confetti in many shapes at craft and fabric stores as well as card and gift shops. The instructions that follow are for finished placemats that measure approximately 12" x 18" (30.5 x 46 cm).

You Will Need

For four placemats:

1-1/8 yd. (1.05 m) of net, 36" (91.5 cm) wide.
Decorative metallic or plastic confetti or other small, flat decorations.
Pinking shears or scalloped scissors.
Spray adhesive.

Cutting Directions

For each placemat, cut two 13-1/2" x 19-1/2" (34.3 x 49.8 cm) rectangles from vinyl and cut one 13" x 19" (33 x 48.5 cm) rectangle from net.


			How to Sew a Confetti Placemat 1) Mark a line on one piece of vinyl 3/4" (2 cm) from each edge, using a permanent-ink marker.
			2) Place the nylon net over a protected surface; apply spray adhesive lightly over net. Place confetti on net, at least 1" (2.5 cm) from edges; arrange as desired, pressing in place with finger.
			3) Position the marked piece of vinyl over the net and confetti; smooth in place. Place vinyl and net over remaining vinyl piece; be sure any large air pockets are removed. Pin layers together outside marked line.
			4) Stitch around placemat 1/4" (6 mm) inside marked line; place tissue paper under placemat while stitching.
			5) Stitch random rows across the placemat, dividing it into compartments; pivot fabric when possible for continuous stitching. Use tape as guide for stitching straight rows.
			6) Remove tissue paper. Trim around all sides of the placemat inside marked lines, using pinking shears or scalloped scissors; cut through all layers.
			Tips for Sewing Confetti Placemats Cut plastic motifs from decorative wired garland, to mix with confetti when larger motifs are desired.
			Use a monofilament nylon thread for stitching that is least visible.
			Prevent presser foot from sticking to the vinyl by applying silicone lubricant frequently under front of presser foot.

Face Patch Pockets
General Sewing
Sew quick and easy faced patch pockets in almost any shape you can imagine; sew animal faces, geometric shapes, flowers, or enlarged motifs from the garment fabric itself. Two tightly spaced rows of stitching make it possible to trim seam allowances close, leaving crisp, smooth edges, even on curves, inner corners, and points.

Materials needed:
Use stable woven fabrics for best results. Back lightweight knits with fusible interfacing, and face them with a woven fabric. Plan the pocket design diameter to be at least 4" (10 cm), and determine the location of the pocket opening. For added interest, place the pocket at an angle or embellish it with stitching lines, embroidery, appliqués, or buttons.

Equipment needed:

Instructions:

		How to Make a Faced Patch Pocket 1) Draw pocket design on paper; cut out. Check size and placement on garment. Trace pocket shape on wrong side of pocket fabric; trace mirror image, if pocket is asymmetrical. Draw short perpendicular line at each inner and outer corner. Layer design on lining fabric, right sides together; pin.
		2) Stitch on marked line around entire design, using short straight stitches. Stitch second row of stitches just outside first row; at corners, taper stitches into first stitching line. Clip to stitching line at corners; trim fabric away to within 1/8" (3 mm) of stitches.
		3) Cut small slash in lining, near lower edge. Turn pocket right side out through slash. Use point turner as necessary to smooth outer edges; press.
		4) Fuse slash closed, using small strip of fusible interfacing. Embellish pocket as desired. Pin to garment; edgestitch, reinforcing stitches at opening
		Embellishment Techniques Appliqués. Apply appliqués, or use raw-edge method.
		Design lines. Draw design lines on water-soluble stabilizer; pin to pocket front. Stitch over design lines, using short straight stitches or short narrow satin stitches.
