Unfortunately, like Kelsie, I have cats who see them as sleeping mats, so my placemats remain in a drawer 99% of the time.<br /><br />My big sewing project at the moment is to make better insulated curtains.

I've just gotten back into sewing because I was tired of lusting over high priced country cottage items and not being able to afford them. One day I figured "Duh!" I'll make them myself. Thanks for the idea. I have 4 cats & have a feeling they'll love these as well!
