Evening Republican, Volume 19, Number 216, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 11 September 1915 — Oil Cloth Table Mats. [ARTICLE]

Oil Cloth Table Mats.

Oil cloth table mats for the children will save many soiled table cloths. They can be made by taking either a square or an oblong of white linen, drawing threads and hemstitching all around. Sew on a back, making the finished article look very much like a pillow cover with one end open for the pillow. Into this slip a piece of oil cloth the size of the mat, and yon will have a useful and attractive means of keeping the table neat. The child’s initial embroidered in the center would add much to the beauty of the article.
