It's maybe more of a place mat. &nbsp;Or maybe its just decorative. &nbsp;I've not really decided yet, but it was fun to sew, so much so that I made a second so now hubby and I can have matching ones. &nbsp;I've been using them as place mats when we eat our dinner out on the patio in the evening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Want to make one?
