Sewing Pattern Star Spangled Table Mat

Looking in my sewing room, I spotted a roll of nylon cord next in my leftover fabric basket. There’s not much fabric left in the basket, but there’s a lot of cord. I thought a little bit about what I could do with what I had and I came up with an idea. I have two different colours of American star-themed fabric, so I can alternate the fabric to make a pleasing, contrasting effect.

I will be showing you how to make a corded table mat which I’ll call the Star Spangled Table Mat. The cord that we’ll use is encased in a bias tape so that there will be no raw edges.
