How to Turn a Placemat into a Bag | Easy Sewing Project | Tutorial Tuesday Ep. 122

Turn a placemat into an adorable bag with this easy tutorial! I'm not a great seamstress (read: I'm really bad at sewing 😂) but this project is easy enough even for beginners or low-skill sewers like myself. This is one of the first projects I sewed, and my bag got a lot of use.
I bought my materials probably 10+ years ago at Walmart, but they should still stock similar products. I've linked similar items below, both from Walmart and Amazon.

You're welcome! This is one of the first projects I ever sewed, and the simplicity really it's the beauty of this project.

Very easy. I got some vintage placemats from an auction. I plan to turn them to small bags to donate an local organization to use as agift bags

[@CraftersAutonomous]

This is a great idea! I'm sure they will turn out lovely.
