Tutorial: How to Make a Fabric Coaster


Materials:
2 pieces of 5" square pieces of fabric per coaster
coordinating thread and sewing machine

STEP 1:
Cut two pieces of 5 inches square fabric. I use the kind of fabric with bigger threads. 



STEP 2: 
Next is, using a running stitch in your sewing machine. Sew 3/4” on four sides, to stop the sides of the  fabric from raveling.  Do this on the 2 fabric. 


STEP 3:  
Then, using any pointed tool (e.g. Needle , Pin. ) remove the threads of the fabric, up to the sewed part of the fabric.  Do this again on both fabric.


STEP 4:   
Lay one fabric square down, right side up. Lay second fabric square on top, right side up also, but  in diagonal position. (see below image) then follow the pink sewing line as shown in the image. 


Your first coaster is done! Repeat for as many coasters as you want to make, then arrange them proudly on your coffee table.
