Hi gang! Long time between posts, this should be remedied soon, as my mondo project is winding down. December 1st, baby!
Before being swallowed up in Thanksgiving activities, I thought I'd slap up a tutorial for the coolest thing I learned the other day. The woman sitting next to me in a sewing class at Bernina showed us how to make these:
She didn't have a name for them so for lack of something better I'm calling them Criss-Cross Coasters. They make great stocking stuffers, hostess or teacher gifts, whatever. You can whip up a set in no time, especially if you use a rotary cutter, because there is no hand finishing. I probably could have spent more time on photographing them, they look much snazzier in person. You can choose fabrics to suit the recipient, or your own (ahem) decor (see above).
And for a change of pace, I thought I'd try an illustrated tutorial! Hey, why not? So here we go....
So there you have it! I hope that's clear enough, and that you can think of many uses for this little project. I know I already have! This set is for Carolyn, who I hope doesn't see this before tomorrow!
Here's hoping everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving. Drive carefully, and hug the ones you love!
Cheers,
Jenny
