Assalamu Alaikum everyone. I hope everyone is well by the grace of Allah, I am also well Alhamdulillah. Today I am really happy to participate in the first week of Steemit Challenge Season 30. This week I will be participating in the "Manteles individuales | Las 3R-S30W1" competition organized by the respected teacher @lunasilver madam, thank you very much for organizing this great competition. I am happy to participate in this challenge. So let's start..!
𝙏𝙝𝙪𝙢𝙗𝙣𝙖𝙞𝙡 𝙞𝙢𝙖𝙜𝙚 
Our house often has leftover fabrics, old clothes or small pieces. Due to lack of time or need, they are not used. In our house, my elder brother's wife is a tailor, she used to choose some small pieces of fabric while making clothes. And I kept those selected fabrics.
This challenge gave me the opportunity to use the old fabrics selected in our house and give new life to those leftover old fabrics. Today, I made eco-friendly placemats for the dining table using old and selected pieces of fabric. And the step-by-step details of making this eco-friendly placemat are given below.
♻️ Source of materials, what I used for this work:👇
- ✔ Small pieces of fabric left over from sewing
- ✔ An old pices of fabric that was not being used
- ✔ A sewing machine to sew the fabrics
- ✔ A scale to take measurements
- ✔ A scissors for cutting clothes
- ✔ A marker pen to draw marks
- ✔ Ironing machine
- ✔ My entire collection
I chose to reuse our home instead of buying new fabrics to make eco-friendly placemats, which follow the Reduce and Reuse principle.
✂️Step-by-step process for making placemats
| Step 1: Choosing the fabric. |
|---|
 |  |
|---|
✔ In our house, we have separated the pieces of cloth according to color and fabric type among the various types of cloth. From these pieces of cloth, I have mainly chosen cotton cloth.
 |  |
|---|
✔ I ironed the pieces of fabric that I chose to make the placemats well so that the cutting and stitching of the pieces of fabric would be perfect.
 |  |
|---|
✔ The pieces of fabric that I took to make the placemats, I basically cut 7 cm × 7 cm squares. I prepared a total of 40 squares from 8 different colored pieces of fabric, 5 each.
📌 Calculation:
8 × 5 = 40 pieces were cut to make the placemats.
✔ After cutting out a 7 cm × 7 cm square, I arranged all the squares to create a balanced pattern and took a picture on my mobile phone so that there would be no problem in creating the next pattern.
 |  |  |
|---|
 |  |
|---|
✔ At this stage, I sewed the pieces of fabric step by step in the order in which they were cut. Then I ironed them after each step. After sewing all the pieces of fabric, I sewed them all together.
 |  |  |
|---|
✔ This time I took an old unused cloth from our house, which is called kheta in our language. I cut the cloth to the size of my placemat, attached the back and sewed the top.
 |  |
|---|
✔ Since the placemat was sewn with old fabric, I used orange fabric around the placemat. I finished it off by adding ribbon around the placemat.
Final presentation
Alhamdulillah! Finally, I have made eco-friendly placemats for the dining table using old and selected pieces of cloth. Which is now completely ready and you can see.
The old clothes and scraps from our house are now adorning my dining table. Through this work, I have tried to play a small but important role in reducing waste and protecting the environment.
What I have learned from participating in this challenge is:
- The solution is not to waste anything, but to creatively reuse.
- Sometimes our small initiatives can make a big difference.
🎥 Video Proof
I have attached a video proof of my placemat making below (1:58 minutes in)
I want to invite my friend @ruthjoe @wirngo @wilmer1988 @aviral123 @josepha @suboohi @solaymann @max-pro @uzma4882 @jimiaera02, to join this contest.
Thank you very much for taking the time to read my post. May you all always be well and healthy by the grace of allah. I end here by wishing you all a long life.
