Greetings to all my friends
Assalam o alikum friends welcome to my blog I am @sualeha love to share my participation post in Steemit challenge season 30 in week:1 that hosting by very energetic and creativity lover lady @lunasilver .... Big inspiration for me to start sewing or stitching journey infact I am not good in sew crafts as well unfortunately my sew machine not in order now a days but when I saw the placemats making ideas from recycled materials I can't control my self to participate and after permission of teacher I made it from hand needle so the task were little bit more challenging and time consuming as compared to sew machine for me I hope you understand the hand made creation need more time and patience but I believed that no gain without pain..... Friends I do my best and completed my table mat in two days finally I share my participation in the challenge.
It's my first experience to make table mat or any sewing craft ever from my old and trash fabric stuffs,by first challenge were finding the Fabric scraps and colour selection or combination...at last I decide and start my working for this creative activity.***Recycling , reduced and reused theme..
I love DIY projects from recycled materials or discards and give them new life ,new look and useful again This challenge gaie me the opportunity to use the old fabrics stored in home leftover old fabrics. Today, I made environment -friendly placemats for the table using old and selected pieces of fabric with complete step-by-step procedure and images .

My table mat almost at finished note only the corners of the mat covered with black bordered like ribbon style around the mat ,for bordered I again used my old trouser lower part it's ideal for making straight strips ,my mat were in rectangle shaped so I cut 2 different length measurements strips .After cutting ✂️ I attached it on all four corners of the mat it's give elegant look and yes increased durability and style even after wash .
Final presentation of my creation
When my table mat is ready I placed on my guest room table and also decor it with my hand made pottery.Friends truly amazing feeling of self confidence and results goes more perfect and satisfying I hope you also like it ...

Thanks alot my friend for your lovely comment 💞💞
Dear sualeha ma'am you have created a very beautiful and painstaking table mat. It is especially admirable that you did not give up and completed the entire work by hand even though the sewing machine was broken. It shows your hard work, patience and dedication.It's really a great idea to use scraps of old clothes to make something so beautiful and useful. The choice of colors is also attractive and the black border makes it more beautiful. Your step by step pictures and explanation were also very good which made the whole process easy to understand.So keep using your creativity and make beautiful things.Your work is really appreciated.

Assalam o Alaikum.
This is a good effort on the table mat. Since your sewing machine wasn't working doing all that stitching by hand shows real effort and patience.
The way you reused old fabric scraps fits the 3R theme well and the black border gives the mat a cleaner look. It is a practical addition to your guest room.
Good job on completing this task.
Your work on this table mat is very beautiful and creative. I really liked how you turned waste fabric into such a useful item.
The color combination is very eye catching
Upvoted! Thank you for supporting witness @jswit.
You have made a very beautiful table mat with a piece of cloth. Actually, we buy such table mats from the market and use them. But if we can make them with our own hands, I think we can save a lot of money. Again, we can use the things we make with our own hands for a long time. Best wishes to you.
The placemat is beautiful and will really add a stylish touch to the table at home. Your idea of repurposing old things is really inspiring. It is very commendable to make something so practical while keeping the environment in mind.
Your creativity and hard work are clearly visible. Thanks for sharing!
