Table Styling Tutorial

Step-by-step guide (10 minutes max)

1. Choose the size

A round placemat usually measures 35–40 cm in diameter.
With 1 meter of fabric, 140 cm wide, you can make around 9 to 10 placemats.

2. Trace & cut

Place your template (plate, platter, or compass), trace a circle on the back of the fabric, then cut it out carefully.

3. No-sew finishing options

• Pinking shears: create a clean zig-zag edge that prevents fraying.

• Raw edge: perfect with dense fabrics (linen, felt, jacquard) for a chic, minimalist look.

• Fusible backing: iron on a thin interfacing circle for more hold and structure.

  And that’s it your placemats are ready to use, without a single stitch!

Creative variations

• Mix and match fabrics for a mismatched, trendy look.

• Switch styles by season: linen and cotton for summer, velvet or jacquard for winter.

• Add a colorful fusible trim around the edge for a more graphic effect.

• Reversible hack: cut two different fabrics and bond them together with double-sided fusible web. You’ll have two looks in one placemat to switch your table setting in seconds.
