Placemat Patience

I've finally had the patience to make some place mats, the cutting of the fabric and sewing went along as easy as always.
Since I do not have a separate loom to do narrow weaving on, I split the warp strings down the center. That means running two shuttles in opposite direction at the same time. I got two place mats done yesterday! Yeah!!  18"x13" they look great in denim.
That means I still have to make a "set" of at least four. They worked up pretty fast for me this time.
Tomorrow, I will make two more. I've got my brown corduroy cut and ready to sew. Next project, brown corduroy rugs. They will weave up fast once I get the material on the shuttles.
 I also need to get in gear and start making my pocket purses and aprons for the market. Only two more full months until the market season starts. Yippee! I can hardly wait for those warm days and markets.
I'm also planning to do some gardening when the weather warms up. We have to eat, you know.
I may even have some extra tomatoes, cucumbers, parsley, and onions for the market this season.
Sounds like a great salad to me.
I'm off to sew that corduroy, that needs to be ready to weave by next week.
Keep on Weavin'
