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.
Wash, dry and iron your fabric. Cut the fashion fabric, backing & Insul-Bright into 6- 7 1/2" squares
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.
Once turned right side out, press your coaster turning in the bottom raw edges and whip-stitching closed.
Stitch a border 1/2" in- this helps to stabilize the coaster for holding drinks, etc.
