I like Big, Exciting, and Challenging Projects. However, even I have to admit, quick ‘n’ brainless is nice too. These Felt ‘n’ Fabric Coasters are an excellent last-minute gift, or a beginner’s sewing project.
To make them, I ironed a 4-inch square of scrap fabric, cut “on the bias” to limit fraying, onto a 4-inch square of felt with some Heat ‘n’ Bond Lite. Then the edges were topstitched to keep it all together. I found a size 14 topstitching needle worked great for the thickness of the felt. I briefly thought about embroidering the edges with an embroidered blanket stitch (or a “hooker” could crochet the edges), but I wanted to keep it simple.
Not so simple that I didn’t also take the time to make a coaster basket from a 8-inch square of felt and fabric.
Enjoy your week! I hope everyone stays safe, warm, and dry!

Have you made any quick ‘n’ easy projects recently?
Simple AND awesome. So love this… and I’m betting my mother would too. I see epic win Christmas presents in my future 😀
I am scared of big projects and thrive on the fast and brainless. These are great! My recent project was that I made a baby quilt for a shower this past weekend, and it was just two pieces of fabric quilted together. It turned out really great for being as simple as it was (but then I forgot to take pictures… oops!). Hooray for completion!!
I love it!! It is super cute, and actually looks like a project that could be achieved at my skill level 🙂
such a good idea for scrapes Like the holder box Thanks
