-
Fold placemat up (about 5 inches) along one of the long sides to create the pocket.
-
Pin two 20” ribbons (right sides together) into the top/right side of the folded up flap/pocket. Stitch both ends of the pocket in place.
-
Divide the length of the placemat by 3 and stitch two vertical seams through the flap to create three equal size pockets.
-
Leave the center pocket as is—it will be for paper (you can cut regular copy paper to fit or add a small notebook).
-
Decide what sort of pens, crayons, markers you would like to store in the two outer pockets. Stitch through the pocket to create individual storage pockets for these items.
