Tutorial: How to sew a fabric coaster

I got myself a new coffee table last Ramadan, and for the love of something new I made a set of coasters to protect the table. hehe :) It's a very easy and simple project, no curves and all. Just straight stitches I think you can stitch by hand as well especially if you're using felt. 

So here it is: 

You will need
1. Your favorite fabrics. Same prints on both sides, or like mine I used two different fabrics A & B
2. Fusible batting/ interfacing to give a solid look
3. Ruler to measure the squares
4. Scissors or Rotary Cutter


Cut 8 pieces 4.5" square fabrics.

Same fabrics for both sides = 8 pieces
Different fabrics each side: 4 pcs Fabric A, 4 pcs Fabric B


Cut 4" squares batting/ interfacing.

So total you will have 12 pieces square fabrics, and that's all you need


Iron the fabrics, then iron the batting to one side of your soon to be coaster.
You're gonna start sewing after this, so arrange the fabrics. Place the two pieces RIGHT sides together .


Like this. Pin around to hold the fabrics together


Mark a hole about 1.5" at one side.

Start sewing with 1/4" seam. Sew from one end to another. 
Don't forget to leave a hole so you can turn your coaster inside out later.


This is how it looks. Sew around but leave a hole.


Clip the corners, so you'll have a beautiful square. Turn the coasters inside out through the whole.

** i missed a photo on how to turn inside out


After u turned the coasters, iron the fabrics. 
Fold the excess fabrics from the hole. All sides look the same now.



Top stitch all sides.



And you're done :)

I hope my explanations are clear. If you have any questions on this tutorial, just email me at admin[@]sewfabby.com

Gathered Clutch

I finally decided to purchase the license to sell Gathered Clutch from Noodlehead
So, I can sell the clutch & wristlet at my shop :) 






Pattern Review: Gathered Clutch by Noodlehead


My crafter friends at GPB group from Facebook have decided to do a sew along on this clutch, so we can all get some experience for purse/ clutch making, as well as making ruffles. We chose two patterns, one of them is this Gathered Clutch from Noodlehead. It is a free tutorial, but the pattern is limited for personal use only and one cannot sell the end product.

This is my first time making ruffles. Luckily the gathered part is only ONE, not more. My mistake was that I fused my medium weight stabilizer before making the ruffles. So after sewing the straight line, i couldn't ruffled the fabric. I tried few times, ended up with sore fingers and broken thread. So, i guessed i must gather it first, then only I can attach the cotton stabilizer.

I also totally forgot about the zipper tab, until I'm about to sew the zipper. So i skipped the tab part. Before attaching the lining to zipper, I would advice for those who's a newbie at ruffle-ing to baste the main fabric first. It made the zipper attaching steps a lot easier for me. Easy breezy!

The rest of the 'journey' was okay to me. Ready to see my version on gathered clutch? 


That's the blur version, from my Instagram. 
Go try and make yourself/ your mom/ teacher/ sister one..!

As for me, I'm glad I tried this tutorial. I can now make more ruffles and add them to my products.
