I have been experimenting with making fabric tea cup coasters so I can make up a couple sets as gifts for our vocalists and her accompanist at our upcoming Spring Tea. I am using scraps so it was easy enough to find pieces that were 5" square or so to make the body of the cup and a strip for the handle. The two photos above are one double sided set and same with the two photos below. I added the same lace to each side of the one coaster. They stitch up relatively easily and making sure the handles faced the correct side was what I had to be most careful with. It did require changing the thread ( top & bobbin) several times but that is what finished them nicely. I am really happy with the way they worked out. Therese
