Fabric Placemat and Coasters

Posted in September 2021 by Kreative Kymona

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.

This collection has 30 prints and about 5 colorways.

Here’s what you need to create the placemat and the coasters:

Coffee Chalk Collection
Aurifil Thread
bernette 77
Cutting Mat
Rotary Cutter

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.

What do you think?

Will you try to make your own placemat and coaster? I would love to see them.

Easy Modern Throw Quilt with Painter’s Watercolor Swirl

Posted in July 2021, Riley Blake Designs by Kreative Kymona

Hello everyone! Today, I’m with an easy modern throw quilt with Painter’s Watercolor Swirl fabric by J. Wecker Frisch.

Let’s take a look at my modern quilt:

I love how easy and fun this quilt was to make. I used Riane Elise’s Companion pattern from her book Inheritance to make this quilt.

The simplicity and contrast of this throw quilt are amazing to see.

Fabric Collection:

Painter’s Watercolor Swirl by J. Wecker Frisch for Riley Blake Design contains 37 beautiful colors from dark to light hues.

Here’s how I created this throw quilt:

What I love about this throw quilt is that there is no binding. Yes, you can make a quilt without binding, and it still looks great. I got the idea from The Willow Market.

To achieve this, you just sandwich the pieces right sides together and sew them together, leaving a six-inch hole for turning.

Once you turn the quilt inside out, it’s time to quilt it. Draw lines on the top of the quilt, 4 inches apart. Then follow them while stitching.

Once you stitch all of the lines, your quilt is done.

I love the look of the two warm colors together.

What do you think?

I Made Leggings and a Shirt using Jersey Knit Fabric

Posted in July 2021, Riley Blake Designs by Kreative Kymona

Hello everyone, I made leggings and a shirt using jersey knit fabric by EttaVee!!

Yes, I sewed a pair of cute leggings and a shirt for myself, and I’m so excited. Ever since I started sewing bags 4 years ago, I knew I wanted to start making my own clothes. I made one or two things in a class but nothing by myself until now.

These leggings are the first item that I’ve made without the help of a video or a class. I read the pattern and prayed, LOL!

Let’s take a look at my jersey knit leggings and shirt:

Yes!! I love them!

Fabric Collection:

When I saw Riley Blake Designs new jersey knit collection included designs by EttaVee, I knew I had to make something. I follow Jessi (@ettavee) on Instagram and love her painting. They are bright, full of color, and very distinct. You can spot her work anywhere.

This collection includes marble, swirls, flowers, and brush strokes in browns, blues, pinks, black, white, and teals.

This collection has 10 different prints. Perfect for making leggings, shirts, dresses, and more.

Here’s how I create these jersey knit leggings and shirt:

All you have to do is follow the instructions that came with the pattern. It was so easy to follow. The instructions include how to stitch on a sewing machine and serger.

I used my sewing machine since many people do not have a serger.

Gather your supplies and get ready to start sewing.

Starting with the leggings.

Trace your pattern piece and lay it down on the fabric.

Cut out the pattern.

If you’re not using a serger, this is how the stitching should look.

Check out these leggings!

Perfect fit!

I can’t get enough of these leggings!

Now for the shirt!

Cut out all of your pattern pieces.

Pin each piece according to the pattern and stitch.

Here’s my finished shirt!

Now I have two new garments in my closet that I made myself! The fabric is so soft and fits perfectly.

What do you think? Will you try to make your own jersey knit leggings and shirt? I would love to see them. If not, what would you make with this pretty fabric?
