I am talking about the coasters I made this morning.
One of my blogger buddies, who I read every post of - but I can't remember which- posted a link to this tutorial. These are simple to make and easy to sew because sewing is a very minor part of it.
I will warn you that layering the fabrics prior to sewing is important. You have to put the layers in the right order and layer NEATLY or you will be fussing when they don't work out.
You see, I was making a set of four -just like in the picture, but OOPS - I messed up. First I didn't layer one set neatly and missed an edge. Easy enough to fix, right? Wrong, when I turned it back to re-sew, I didn't get the layers back in order.
Cut a few more squares and try again.
Well fiddlesticks! I put the lining and the base together wrong. So when I turned it...the interfacing was on the outside! ARRRGH.
Third time was the charm - and I was EXTREMELY careful. Ha ha. So, I sewed six but got four. Hey there is a learning curve to everything. Granny said, "Haste makes waste" and sure enough it did.
I am planning to make some sets of these for the Christmas sale at church. They are easy but they look very nice.
