Mum's Advent Calendar 12, Days Left 13

Christmas Coaster Tutorial

Cut out 2 squares of Christmas fabric and one square of batting - mine was a bit thick but squashed down with some persuasion. Put right sides of fabric together with the batting on top. Starting on one side sew round all sides leaving a small gap on the first side for turning.


Cut the corners and turn right sides out.


Hand sew the turning hole closed with small slip stitches.


Quilt the top by sewing consecutive squares.


Put your favourite mug on top, containing your drink of choice.


Hot lemon for me please.


The tree is there - look very closely.

  4. Love the coaster, although I was a bit worried at picture three. I thought your cup might fall off (silly me, it wasn't finished) found the tree. I found yesterdays but it was a flying visit.
