The geometric shape of the pattern creates fun designs for the placemat sides. The varied grey colours help the shapes stand out more. The place mats each have a different section of the print, which makes it fun to look at. And the more you get into the pattern, the more deals you find. The fabric is pre-washed, so when they need a clean, they will not shrink. The fabric used is upolstery weight cotton. The measurements of the placemats are 38cm x 30cm (15" x 12"). The measurements between the placemats will be slightly different as they are handmade.
