Fabric Coasters

• 1/4 yard of 45″ wide fabric {this will make 6 – 6 1/2″ square coasters}
• 1/4 yard muslin for backing {or you can use another decorative fabric and make these reversible}
• 1/4 yard Insul-Bright {this is better than batting as it reflects both hot & cold & can be used to make hot pads, oven mitts, etc.}

1.  Wash, dry and iron your fabric.

2.  Cut the fashion fabric, backing & Insul-Bright into 6- 7 1/2″ squares

3.  Layer the muslin, fashion fabric face down and Insul-Bright with the reflective side towards the wrong side of the fashion fabric.

4.  Stitch 1/2″ around the coaster leaving approximately a 2″ opening in the bottom center so that you can turn your coaster right side out through this opening.

5.  Trim the Insul-Bright close to the stitching & cut the corners at an angle.

6.  Once turned right side out, press your coaster turning in the bottom raw edges and whip-stitching closed.

7.  Stitch a border 1/2″ in- this helps to stabilize the coaster for holding drinks, etc.
