A day late, but here’s a tutorial for some crooked coasters.  Do you like to sew?  And sew and sew?  I found these very relaxing to make.  I used linen for these, which made them extra wonky.

Oh, and by the way — you might have noticed some changes around here.  In addition to the new look, there are a lot more links to other sites and crafty tutorials.  Browse through the categories on the left.  I’ll be adding to these regularly and have lots more kids’ crafts to add.  And let me know what you think!

  3. Love the new look and all the fantastic links. I’ve been going through them all and enjoying the inspiration and eye candy. Plus gorgeous coasters.

  4. now that’s it! I am saving a lot this month to make sure I can buy a sewing machine and start doing loads of stuff like this coasters! Your blog is lovely thanks for making it nicer!

  5. Very, very nice! Good in any solid color. I have personally become fond of pure wool for coasters. Double-woven wool, or two layers of thiner wool, stay flat but protect surfaces very well. Your stitch pattern would look great on wool, too.

    Linen for spring/summer coasters. Wool for fall/winter coasters. What fun!

    I’m new to reading your blog. It’s super! Thanks!

  6. Wow, these are just gorgeous! Elegant and simple with perfect detail. I love them! Thanks so much for the how-to, I’ll be linking.

  7. Thanks for this! I’ve made 2 already – even though I have a stack of other stuff I SHOULD be doing! These were so simple I couldn’t not do them. I also LOVED your pattern illustrations. Great work – and great new blog too!

  8. It might be easier to cut a batting square maybe 5/8 inches shorter than your coaster square. Use the fusable webbing to stick it on the wrong side of one square. Sew your outside seams. I think it would turn easier.
    I was thinking about make them and sewing an X across the center, sewing around the edges and then slipping the edges like a rag quilt square.
