Four Thanksgiving Day Placemat Tutorials

Thanksgiving is just a month away, and now is the time to start getting your home ready for the big day. Luckily, you still have plenty of time to whip up a few handmade Thanksgiving Day projects, and one of the easiest projects to make is placemats. Here are tutorials for four of my favorite Thanksgiving Day placemats that you can make for your Thanksgiving Day table today.

Lily Sugar ‘N Cream: Turkey Placemat

If you know how to crochet than making this Turkey shaped placemat from Lily Sugar ‘N Cream yarn might just be the Thanksgiving Day placemat for you. The placemat requires only basic crochet skills, and it is simple to stitch up.

Sew What’s New: Thanksgiving Turkey Placemat

Sew What’s New editor Susan shares a pattern for a Thanksgiving Turkey Placemat on the Sew What’s New website. This turkey shaped placemat even offers pockets to hold your silverware.

The pattern and instructions are available in a downloadable and printable format. The placemat should be easy to sew, and if you have quilting experience it should be simple.

Schlosser Designs: Thanksgiving Placemats

So this Thanksgiving Placemat tutorial from Erin at Schlosser Designs is not really for the placemats themselves, but it is a tutorial for embellishing plain store bought placemats for Thanksgiving. However, you could easily make a basic placemat yourself and then use this tutorial to embellish them.

The placemats are simply embroidered with the words “Give Thanks”. Erin offers a stitching pattern in a downloadable and printable format in her tutorial for them.

She Wears Flowers: Turkey Placemat Tutorial

The Turkey Placemats from She Wears Flowers are based upon a Thanksgiving placemat that Pottery Barn sold several years ago. As with the placemats from Sew What’s New these placemats also have pockets to hold the silverware.

The tutorial from She Wears Flowers is extremely well written, and offers printable pattern pieces, with instructions for printing. The instructions for making the placemat are just as detailed with step-by-step instructions, and plenty of photos to show you how to create your placemat from start to finish.
