Last Christmas, I made place mats for Miss I’m-in-College-and-Have-Stupid-Parents from her daddy’s uniforms and other memory-type fabrics. I thought they turned out very nice. I was wrong. Lead balloon.
Turns out that those were winter weight uniforms and that dang thing is both heavy and very warm.

Could be that the place mats’ stock will appreciate as she gets older and gets over herself...
