Gift Giving- Placemats

I found chalkboard fabric online a while back but I had never been able to figure out what to make with it.  Until I found the idea online to make chalkboard placemats!  The ones I had found online told you to paint a piece of wood with chalkboard paint and use that.  I immediately thought of the chalkboard fabric as a great material for this project.  I used the fabric and denim for the other side.  I also tried out some of the fun stitches on the sewing machine to make the edges.
