Colourful Fabric Coasters 可爱杯垫

As mentioned in my last blog entry, my next project is fabric coasters. Like dining table mats, coasters can also be a decorative piece that add style to your dining area. There are many ways one can design their coasters, mine is using different design/pattern of fabric and stitch it together. 

Coasters is a relatively easy sewing project, but the bias binding took me some time to finish. I must admit that the bias binding needlework is a bit messy. I tried mending the untidy part by adding a hanging loop using cute print cotton tape. It turned out unexpectedly better than the original look. Sewing is such fun, if something goes wrong, don't worry, you can either remove the stitches and do it again or you can also patch it up using your creativity. Likewise, we should not be afraid to make mistake in life. There is always a way to put things right. We learn from our mistakes and hopefully we become wiser over the years.

Here it is, my very own colourful fabric coasters. These handmade fabric coasters make a great housewarming gift. :)
