It's time to say goodbye to those cheap, Home Goods placemats you got years ago and turn your holiday table into an inviting, cozy, handmade space to share life and laughs and love around. 🧶🍽️✨
Join us for our fall Tunisian Crochet-A-Long, where we're spending five cozy fall weeks creating a set of Tunisian crocheted placemats and/or a table runner designed to bring a little handmade love to all the meals, gatherings, Friendsgivings, holidays, and ordinary Tuesday-night dinners happening around your table.
And because everyone's table looks a little different?
You get to choose what you're making.
Your TCAL includes four skeins of your chosen main color + one skein of an accent color, giving you enough yarn to make approximately:
🍽️ 2 placemats with tassels
🍽️🍽️ 2 placemats + a short table runner
🍽️🍽️🍽️🍽️ 4 placemats
Want a longer runner? Six placemats? Matching pieces for the gigantic table where your entire extended family somehow squeezes in every year?
Go for it.
TCAL participants can purchase as much additional yarn as they'd like for their project at 15% off.
AND YOU GET TO PICK YOUR COLORS. 🌈
We'll be working with a beautiful cotton-linen blend yarn that's durable enough to actually live on your dining table, not something you're terrified to spill gravy on.
It's washable, practical, and designed for the kind of handmade pieces that become part of your home and get used again and again.
Even better?
You'll have 20 gorgeous colors to choose from.
Choose a neutral main color with a contrasting tassel. Go full traditional holiday. Make something autumnal. Pick colors that match your dishes. Make the pink holiday table of your dreams.
It's your table. You make the rules.
We also thought about the deadline. 😅
Because we KNOW what happens when you decide in October that you're going to crochet something for the holidays.
Suddenly it's the night before everyone arrives and you're sitting on the couch furiously crocheting while bargaining with whatever deity oversees fiber arts.
So we're designing this pattern specifically to help you avoid that.
The pattern uses Tunisian crochet stitches that naturally lie flat, which means we're skipping the dramatic curling that Tunisian crochet can sometimes be known for.
No finishing your placemats and discovering they look like little yarn scrolls.
And most importantly:
NO BLOCKING AND STRETCHING YOUR ENTIRE TABLE SET AT THE END.
Finish your crochet. Add your finishing touches.
Lay the table with the fancy shit!! 🎉
Your TCAL Includes:
🧶 4 skeins of your chosen main color
🎨 1 skein of your chosen accent color
🌈 Your choice from 20 available yarn colors
📖 The complete Makeshift Made placemat + table runner pattern
🪡 Kickoff Workshop: October 11
✨ Finishing Workshop: November 15
🛍️ 15% off additional yarn for your TCAL project
💌 An exclusive TCAL sticker & collectible pin
Total TCAL value: $140
YOUR PRICE: $90 🎉
That's everything you need to get your holiday-table project underway, plus two workshops to keep you supported and moving toward the finish line.
Workshop #1: The Kickoff - October 11 🧶
We're starting this thing together.
Bring your yarn, grab your hook, meet your fellow TCALers, and learn everything you need to confidently start your project.
We'll go through the pattern, talk about the different project configurations, help you determine what you're making with your five included skeins, and walk through the Tunisian crochet stitches and techniques used throughout the design.
You'll leave with your project officially underway and five weeks to work at your own pace.
THEN WE CROCHET-ALONG. 🧶🧶🧶
Work on your project at home.
Bring it to Makeshift and work on it in the Living Room. We have dedicated meet-ups every Sunday at 1:30pm! Meet up with your fellow TCALers. Ask questions.
Buy another skein because you have suddenly decided that four placemats aren't enough and apparently you're making eight now.
You know. Crochet-A-Long stuff. 💁♀️
Workshop #2: The Finish Line - November 15 ✨
Five weeks later, we're getting back together to finish these babies.
We'll work through finishing techniques, tassels and final details, troubleshoot anything giving you trouble, and help get your handmade table pieces ready to actually USE.
And the timing is very intentional:
You'll still have time before Thanksgiving. 🦃
No hiding unfinished ends underneath a serving platter.
No telling your family, “Okay, technically these will be done for NEXT Thanksgiving.”
We're getting these things on the table. 💪
Perfect for:
🧶 Crocheters ready to explore Tunisian crochet beyond scarves and wearables
🍽️ Anyone who wants to bring something genuinely handmade to their holiday table
✨ Makers who love projects that are beautiful and actually useful
🎁 Anyone thinking, Wait... these would make an incredible handmade gift
🏡 People who want more handmade objects incorporated into their everyday homes
🌈 Color lovers already agonizing over which two of the 20 colors they're going to choose
🦃 People who need an actual deadline or their “holiday project” will be completed sometime around March
What You'll Learn:
🪡 How to work the Tunisian crochet stitches used throughout the pattern
📖 How to read and follow the complete placemat and table runner pattern
📏 How to maintain consistent tension and dimensions across multiple matching pieces
✨ How to use naturally flat Tunisian stitches to create functional home goods without extensive blocking
🌈 How to switch colors in Tunisian crochet on both the right AND left sides
🧶 How to add tassels and finishing details
🍽️ How to customize the pattern to create the combination of placemats and runners that works for your table
The Vibe:
We're crocheting things that the people you love most will get to enjoy for years to come. Make the table you want to sit, laugh, cry, celebrate, and love around. 🧶🍷
We're not making something that has to sit untouched in a cabinet because it's handmade.
We're making something to use.
Put it underneath Thanksgiving dinner. Pull it back out for Christmas. Set your birthday cake on it. Use it for Sunday dinner. Wash it. Put it away. Bring it back next year.
Let it collect meals and spills and stories.
Because there is something incredibly special about sitting down together around a table and realizing that the thing underneath everyone's plates?
You made that. 🧶❤️
