Fabric Placemat and Coasters

Hello everyone! Kymona here with a new project for you, fabric placemat and coasters using fabric that is all about coffee.

Let’s take a look at a fabric placemat and coasters:

Super cute table setting for guests when they come over. A place for their mug and snacks without making a mess or leaving rings on the table.

These are easy to make and do not require a lot of fabric.

Fabric Collection:

Coffee Chalk by J. Wecker Frisch for Riley Blake Design is a brewed collection for coffee lovers. The prints contain nostalgic coffee pots, coffee cup border strips, dots, beans, swirls, and text.

Cutting Mat

Placemat:

Top, batting, and backing fabric: 13 inches by 10.5 inches
Binding: 2 strips

Coasters:

Top, batting, and backing: 5.5 inches

The placemat is made by creating a quilt sandwich, quilting it, and adding the binding.

The coasters are made but placing the backing fabric down right sides up, then the top fabric right sides down, then the batting.

Clip them and stitch around using a 1/4 inch. Leave a hole for turning.

After turning, stitch 1/8 inch around the entire coaster closing the hole.

Thank you so much,

Needle and Thread Case

Hello everyone! It’s Happy National Sewing Month! Yayyy! That means I will dedicate at least 30 minutes a day to sewing and practicing my skills all month long.

Let’s start off with a super cute needle and thread case. I love sewing on the go, so having a cute case to carry all of my supplies in is perfect for me.

Let’s take a look at my new needle and thread case:

You can add your favorite threads and needles and keep them safe. The best part is the pattern is a free pattern from Sharon Holland!

Let’s take about this fabric:

This fabric collection is called Community from Rachel Erickson of Citrus & Mint Designs for Riley Blake Designs.

Rachel created this collection to react to the widespread hurt and divisiveness felt during the Covid-19 pandemic and the Black Lives Matter movement. Both events left her wanting more unity, love, and diversity in the world and her desire to go outside, travel, and be surrounded by people again.

This collection comprises 24 different prints in colors like green, honey, orchid, coral, blush, blue, mint, and cream.

Here’s what you need to create your own thread and needle case:

Follow the pattern’s direction on how to make these. The pattern is easy to follow, and you can make a bunch of these in no time.

The finished size is 5 inches by 4inches, so you can make a couple of these out of two different fat quarters.

I love how these smaller thread sizes fit in this case.
