Thanks again everyone one. I used prequilted placemats that I bought from Walmart. All you have to do is just put your design on one. Add two buttonholes on the side. Put two buttonholes on the bottom one in the same place as the top. Place the top right side up on the bottom one and sew around the 3 sides that do not have the buttonhole. Very easy. If you have any more questions just ask and I will try to answer.

Thanks for the clear instructions :!:

ccbear: My guess is you won't have enough time to work after you get orders for the carriers...you maybe creating a new business for yourself. Thanks for sharing.

Questions:
1. Do you sew all around the placemats and leave only the one end open which you said the spoon keeps closed.
2. Where you have the spoon, do you have like button holes on the top placemat and a tab on the inside of the bottom placemat so you can stuff the tab through the button holes and slide the spoon in? Or, how did you do that?
3. Did you line the inside of the carrier with anything like Insul-brite to help keep hot stuff hot and not burn the person carrying the carrier?
4. I love your little embroidery motifs on the top...Fresh from My Kitchen, etc. Did you create those yourself or do you have an embroidery pattern for them? They are so cute.

You sew around 3 sides of the placemat and leave the one end open. On that open end I put two putton holes on the top placemat and also on the bottom placemat in the same place. Then you just thread the spoon thru those holes. I didn't put a tab but I'm sure that would work also. I did not put any of the Insul-brite in mine but some of the ladies on sew forum were adding that. All of the designs that I used were free ones and I think that they all came from sew forum.
If I can be of any further help let me know.

Those are absolutely WONDERFUL. How much are you charging? I might be interested in buying one.

Those are soooo cute, bet you get lots of orders. :lol: :lol:

Thanks everyone. I am charging $15 plus shipping for these.

Where did you find such pretty place mats? I never see any that are that nice.

I get these at Walmart and they are $3.50 here. I have also picked up some at Old Time Pottery. They are not quit as pretty but are only $3.00 each and they work great also.

Those are the cutest things! What a great idea, would make cute gifts too.
Thanks for showing us.
