How to Sew a Bench Pillow from a Placemat Panel

Hi! Tara Reed of TaraReed.com here with another quick sewing project that uses the December placemat panel from my Monthly Placemat Panel Program for Riley Blake that is something other than a placemat!

How to Sew a Bench Pillow from a Placemat Panel - Sewing for Beginners

If you have ever wanted a quick way to add seasonal decor to your home, bench pillows – or small rectangular pillows – are an easy way to go. When you make them from placemat panel fabric they are not only easy but economical.

With a panel of 6 images you could make 6 pillows or make some placemats and a few pillows, use them as quilt blocks and more. There are so many things you can with a sewing machine and creativity.

In the video below I will show you how quick it is to stitch up a pillow using a Christmas Barn: one of 6 images on the December panel from the Monthly Placemat Panel Program that is available in stores and online now.

With the 12 panels in the Monthly Placemat Program you can make pillows AND placemats for the whole year.
