The Easy Peasy Placemats with Pockets Pattern is a fast, fun project that adds instant polish to your table — or creates a thoughtful handmade gift in less than two hours. Designed to use pre-cut Bosal placemat forms as the base, these placemats have beautiful body and a crisp, professional finish with minimal effort. Each placemat features a handy side pocket, perfect for holding silverware and a napkin — ideal for outdoor dining, windy picnics, poolside lunches, or buffet tables. The clever design keeps everything neatly in place while adding a stylish, practical touch. This pattern makes a set of four placemats, each finishing at 18in x 13in, and is an excellent choice for gifting. Think hostess gifts, pool party essentials, or a polished addition to everyday dining. It also shines as a class project, making it perfect for make-it / take-it sessions or relaxed mother-and-daughter sewing classes over summer break. For accurate cutting and clean results, the pattern recommends the Creative Grids CGR24.
