I made a top and a skirt to match. I put some elastic on the back of the shirt to make it fit better and then added ties for the neck. For the skirt, I sewed the two placemats together at the sides, added elastic to the top and VIOLA!

They sat on my sewing desk for a while because I was imagining the different things I could make. Well, Josie finally asked me to make her something with the place mats so here it is:

Wow girl! I'm impressed!
Very creative! I always admire anyone who can take an ordinary item and turn it into something lovely to wear. You would never guess it is made of placemats. The print is fabulous too! I'm visiting with TTTC, hope you visit me too!
