It's a Yellowishus idea

Yellowishus? Oh yea, I made up a new word. (I do that, a lot) It's all about yellow here at Oilcloth Addict! I am just loving this new print, Big Apple Yellow!

You know what I am seeing? Placemats!! Check it out what I am calling a panel is 20 1/2" long and 47"/48" wide. 

Then I cut the panel in to three smaller rectangles that are about 15" x 20 1/2" each. You could now trim them up to the same size and you have a great single-sided placemat or you could really crafty and follow the How-To: Outdoor Placemats by Lish Dorset to make a reversible placemat. (see photo below)

Here is the tricky part, one yard won't give you enough for more than 3 placemats but 1 1/2 will get you 6 placemats. Feel free to convo me for a special placemat listing and I'll make sure you get the right amount.

Show and Tell, a sprused up porch

One of my super sweet Junies (what I lovingly call my Modern June workers) spruced up her front porch with a bit of the Green Apple oilcloth and a can of white spray paint! April lives near the best fireworks in Richmond, so she wanted the porch to look great for her annual 4th of July party. With a simple staple gun and a yard or two of oilcloth she covered three of her pretty vintage chairs. This totally amazing woman can do it all... parties, home dec and working part time for me, that's amazing since she has 3 super cute kids under the age of four! Did I mention that on is only 8 months old?

Happy summer sprucing up to you all!
