1. With the wrong side of the placemat facing up, fold the bottom up 7 inches and pin in place.

3. Place the hanger at the top of the placemat and fold the placemat over it. The folded part should measure 1 inch from the hanger to the open edge.

2. Sew each side using a ¼ inch seam allowance. I used a triple stitch for stability, but stitching twice with a single stitch would work as well.
