We’re excited to introduce a new project perfect for beginners! Simple coasters and placemats to get you started on your sewing journey. Enjoy sewing with your favorite fabrics!
Design & Work: Yui Tamaki
Materials: Fabric: 110cm wide x 50cm / 43" x 20"
Finished Size:
Coaster 10cm square / 4" square
Place Mat 30cm x 20cm / 12" x 8"
Instructions
1. Prepare two 12cmx12cm fabrics (seam allowance included). With the front sides facing each other, place them together.
2. Set the needle position to be at 1cm seam. Sew all the way around, leaving 5cm unsewn for opening for turning. Cut off four corners of the seam so that it will look clean when it is turned inside out.
3. Press the seam open using an iron for a cleaner finish.
4. Turn it inside out and align the shape with the iron. Apply stitches all the way around at 0.5cm from the fabric edge. Now, the coaster is finished!
5. Let’s begin making the place mat. Cut the fabrics into 32cm x 22cm (seam allowance included)
6. Like the coaster, place the fabrics with the front sides facing each other.
7. With 1cm seam, sew the pieces together, leaving the opening for turning unsewn.
Turn it inside out and apply stitches at 0.5cm from the edge.
Matching coaster and place mat are now complete!
