You Create: picnic bundle



I made this for my in-laws to carry their utensils for a picnic.



I took a place mat and lined it with flannel. I cut the flannel to 1" larger than the mat, turned the edges under and stitched it together. I flipped up the bottom of the mat to make a pocket and stitched that to make pockets to store each of the items (napkins, forks, knives, spoons, and a spare spot for anything else they might need to carry).



Lastly, I stitched a ribbon on to tie the little bundle up.

What a fabulous idea.

Very cute. (I like the extra pocket. That can hold a bag for the used utensils when the picnic is over!)
