You Will Need (2 things)

  • 1 yd Sewing Machine , Fabricdecorative fabrice of choice
  • Sewing Machine , Fabric, Batting

Steps (5 steps, 30 minutes)

  1. 1

    Fabric Coasters

    1/4 yard of 45" wide fabric {this will make 6 - 6 1/2" square coasters}

    1/4 yard muslin for backing {or you can use another decorative fabric and make these reversible}

    1/4 yard Insul-Bright - this is a GREAT product* If using the Insul-Bright or a similar product the coasters can resist hot and cold which makes them decorative & functional.

  2. 2

    Wash, dry and iron your fabric.

    Cut the fashion fabric, backing & Insul-Bright into 6- 7 1/2" squares

  3. 3

    Layer the muslin, fashion fabric face down and Insul-Bright with the reflective side towards the wrong side of the fashion fabric.

    Stitch 1/2" around the coaster leaving approximately a 2" opening in the bottom center so that you can turn your coaster right side out through this opening.

    Trim the Insul-Bright close to the stitching & cut the corners at an angle.

  4. 4

    Once turned right side out, press your coaster turning in the bottom raw edges and whip-stitching closed.

  5. 5

    Stitch a border 1/2" in- this helps to stabilize the coaster for holding drinks, etc.
