To start up the week right, here is a How-to I cooked-up for the Sewing Republic a little while ago. They made a video out of it, you can get it here. I am really impressed how much easier it looks on film than on paper.
For my version I made my own bias tape (turns out this exact fabric is now available as bias tape from Michael Miller !). I would definitely recommend taking that extra-step. You just can't find really cool tape at Joann.
PS (!): The Portland trip was amazing, be prepared for some serious reporting on all things Market and Shopping!
The place mat looks great. I'm glad you had a good trip. I'm looking forward to reading about it.
