Hello,
I wanted to share with you what I recently made - a couple of coasters as gifts. I didn't really feel like sewing, but I needed to make something quick. So, I grabbed the scrap bag under my cutting table and started picking out a few fabrics. I decided to keep it simple and use just one set of colors for the coasters. They turned out pretty nice, and I hope my friend loved them!
These coasters are really easy
and quick to make. It takes around 10-15 minutes only. Well, I spent more time
picking up the fabrics. I mean, rummaging through scrap bins is really fun,
right? I just made some coasters and they were so easy and quick to make! It
only took me around 10-15 minutes to finish them. Although, I must admit that I
spent more time picking out the fabrics. Going through scrap bins is just so
much fun, don't you think?
Materials I used:
Leftover strips of fabrics 5 1/2 x 5 1/2 inches lightweight non-woven interfacing (optional) 5 x 5 inches fabric for backingWhen it comes to fabric choices, I like to use
cotton batting for my larger projects, but for smaller ones, I'll use whatever
is available. Recently, I made a pink-green coaster using poly batting, but it
turned out a bit flat, even though I didn't quilt it too densely. On the other
hand, the blue coasters I made with cotton batting and only quilted along the
seams turned out great. In the video, I used block print scrap fabrics, which
have different shades of every color. To give my final product more structure,
I always use nonwoven lightweight interfacing, but you can skip it if you
prefer a different finish.
I have a few more unfinished projects in
progress. Follow me on YouTube where I share almost daily updates on my work.
