The table cloth is not so used anymore. It is more practical and looks better when we put placemats on the table for every single person. The problem with the table cloth is that you have to be more careful not to spoil it because you have to wash it.
With the placemats, your table is not fully covered, and if some piece of the food falls on the table, you can clean it in a minute without turning on the washing machine.
In this article, you can find ten free patterns and tutorials for DIY all different placemats. Some of them are sets together with napkins, but it is all up to you to decide if you want to make sets or just placemats.
