Instructions for Scrap Fabric Coaster Tutorial
- Cut 5 strips of fabric 1.2″ x 5″ for each scrap fabric coaster
- You need to determine which pieces you want next to each other. Also find your scrap batting and a piece of scrap fabric for the backside.
- With right sides together, sew each piece to the next using a 1/4″ seam allowance.
- When finished iron your seams. I show you how in the video if you aren’t sure.
Sandwich your Scrap Fabric Coaster
Make sure and follow the order so when you turn it all the pieces are as they should be. I show you both in the video and in the photo above.
Sew Your Coaster together
You want to sew around your coaster. I clip the pieces in place but you can also use pins.
Leave a big enough space so that you can flip your pieces. In the video, I didn’t do mine big enough and had to take my seam ripper. You will love it at the end.
Flip your coaster and use your iron to close your opening.
Finish Your Scrap fabric coaster
You are nearly finished with your scrap fabric tutorial. Sew around your coaster using a 1/4″ seam allowance making sure you close your opening.
To keep the batting from shifting when washing, I quilted my coaster.
Simply sew a seam from one corner to another. When finished, come in and put your sewing machine foot on the edge of your seam and go diagonal again. You should also do ditch in the stich or use a free motion stitch to make it however you want.
Congrats your Scrap fabric Coaster Tutorial is finished. I always have some on hand in a box in case I need a last minute gift. Also check out our Scrap fabric quilt patterns for more scrap fabric ideas.
