turkey placemats
with little pockets for the silverware.
Pottery Barn had something similar to this in their fall catalog several years ago. A friend asked me to help her make them. I declined and told her it was well worth the money to just buy them. Slacker, I know!
A couple of years later, after moving across the country, I was asked again--by a new friend--to make them. I decided it was time to figure out how to do it. So I did and shared it with a group of women from church. Unfortunately, I was so busy getting my example placemat together that I never finished my set. Then I had another baby and I was one short anyhow.
Finally, I just had to get it all together so I made a real tutorial for it!
Now mine are (nearly) finished!
Don’t forget to check out the tutorial to make those cute little pilgrims, too!
Several people have told me the painting looked complicated but, trust me,
I made it EASY for you.
It is not difficult at all—especially if you know me!

That is the cutest little Turkey EVER! What a good idea!
Very cute! Great minds think alike. I'm working on something very similar!
OK, I love these!!!! I want to make them, but when I click on the link to download the pattern, it says the page is not available. Is there another way to get to them?
Thanks so much!

How precious your turkey placement !
aw this is so so so cute!!
Oooh....I LOVE it!! Thanks for linking @Creative Itch's "Sew Cute Tuesday"!
I have a quick question...what stitch did you use to sew around the beak and wattle. I can't figure out how to make it look like that. ;)
APLANALPS--Use a zigzag stitch, but change your stitch length to almost 0. This will keep the stitches close together to make a "satin" stitch. You will have to play with the width of the stitch until you find a width you like. I always practice on a scrap of fabric first.
okay this is adorable!! Thanks for linking up!!
Tammy, this is so incredibly cute!! Pottery Barn, look out! I love the pockets to put in spoons, forks, etc. It's genius!!
this turned out amazing! And congrats on getting a tutorial on U-create. I love this place mat! I wish I had time to make it for this year! I missed posting Topsy Turvy Tuesday's this week, but I'll be featuring this next week! It's just gorgeous. Thanks for linking up to Topsy Turvy Tuesday's!
