Hi. I'm Mat.

My first attempt at a little more complicated sewing project.  Yes, I know it looks a little bit like a kid did this.  No, I don't care.  Besides, when you're not photographing it, it looks so much better!

I took two place mats I already had, sewed them together to get the correct length for his bowls.  Then I used some of the leftover curtain (you'll recognize from the porch cushion covers), cut out the letters of his name, and tried valiantly to make it look decent.  This is harder than it sounds.  But I'm still happy with the way it turned out.

At least now the place mats are sewn together and won't turn into a bunched-up wad every time he lays down to eat!
