I made a small (made for one) picnic blanket. The beige coarse cotton I got from the thrift store and the pink and silvery brocade I got from the Royal BC Museum at one of their annual sales.
The size is perfect for sitting under a tree and reading a book with a thermos of tea. (This summer is rather cold). It is also great for when I go for walks with my mother and we want a clean place to sit down.
It is really easy to make. Just put the two fabric pieces facing each other and sew along the edge. Leave enough of a gap between the start and the end of the stitch to pull the fabric the right way round. Iron . Finally, sew the gap closed.
