Pick a novelty print and a contrasting border fabric and you’re ready to set the table with these lovely bordered placemats! The best part is, the back looks just as good as the front- if a spill should happen, just flip it over! Choose your center according to your interests or the interests of a recipient because these make great gifts. If you have an embroidery machine, you can even add embroidery to the center panel for a truly customized and unique project.
