Dresden Placemat has been given a Halloween makeover with this Halloween Dresden Placemat. Thanks for all the positive feedback on the pretty Dresden Placemats I made for a special afternoon tea. It is fun to adapt patterns for other occasions. Everyone needs a Halloween Dresden Placemat, right?
This placemat coordinates with the Halloween Cottage I made earlier this month. I bought a charm square pack of Goose Tales by J Wecker Frisch for Riley Blake Designs. It featured a number of small scale halloween prints in shades of pumpkin, grey, and black, so was perfect for these projects. I have some fabric left over for future halloween projects. Charms Squares are so versatile for these smaller projects.
I used four charm squares for the applique foundation. I simply sewed them together and then rotated the larger square approximately 30 degrees, and then cut out the hexagon. I love the effect a patchwork foundation gives to the Halloween Dresden Placemat project.
Dresden placemats are perfectly sized to use as a mug rug, or placemat. I am currently using mine as a doiley on my hall table, where it is ready to hold the bowl of candy for our neighbourhood trick or treaters.
Head to our Etsy store to find the ePattern to make your own Dresden Placemat.
