Tutorial No. 21 - Easy to make Square Patchwork Coaster

Here's the tutorial for the square patchwork coaster. :)



As with the triangle ones, you can make these any size you like but make sure to cut your fabrics into 5 identical squares.



For my project, my squares are 6x6 inches.  Fold the patchwork pieces lengthwise into rectangles, Place the rectangles' folded sides to the centre of the back square (dark green fabric) and the raw edges to the outer perimeter.

Seam allowance is 1/4 inch (about 0.5cm).  After sewing securely aound the perimeter, turn the coaster inside out and iron flat. 








Hope you will give this and the triangle patchwork coasters a try!
Happy Sewing! :)

Tutorial No. 20 - Easy to make Triangle Patchwork Coaster

Needed to make some coasters for the home so I thought I'd show you how to make these easy patchwork coasters. :)

         


Let's make the Triangle patchwork ones first. 


You can make these any size you like but make sure to cut your fabrics into 5 identical squares. For my project, my squares are 6x6 inch squares. Fold the patchwork  pieces diagonally into triangles.  Place the triangles' folded sides to the centre of the back square (dark green fabric) and the raw edges to the outer perimeter. 

Seam allowance is 1/4 inch (about 0.5cm). After sewing securely around the perimeter, turn the coaster inside out and iron flat.









Hope you will like this easy project!

The Square Patchwork Coasters will be in the next blog post! :)

Tutorial No. 19 - Easy to make Pencil Case

My eldest daughter needed a case to keep her markers in. But the usual pencil cases were either too small or too "tight", so I made a pencil case that would be easier for her to find and retrieve her markers from.

This is a very easy sewing project. You can make this case any size you like but make sure to use a zip that is longer that the length of your fabrics - this will make the zip much easier to be sewn on! :)

For my project, I used a 14 inch long zip and 2 pieces of 9x9 inch square fabrics.










I hope you'll like this pencil case! Happy Crafting! :)
