GOODwill to Great Part 3: Upholstery Coasters
Ok! Here is my 3rd upcycle project from my GOODwill to GREAT Series. In case you missed my previous post, I came upon these swatches at my local Goodwill store for 50 cents each. I had no idea what I was going to do with them, but could not pass up such a bargain. I chose the fabric on the far left to work with today.
I admit, I struggled with what to do with this one, but settled on making some upholstery coasters. I have been seeing a lot of fabric coasters lately, and figured upholstery would work just as well.
I had to show off this old MoorMans mug. It belonged to my husband's grandparent's.
These little coasters would make such a nice housewarming gift, or coworker gift. I'm thinking you could add in a mug and some hot cocoa mix. Wouldn't that be nice?
Well, I thought these coasters seemed sort of manly, so I wanted to make some more for HER. I used some leftover fabric scraps from the bag I made for a friend recently. If my sidebar had not disappeared, I COULD LINK UP THAT PROJECT RIGHT HERE!!!!!! (Ugh!....Breathe........) Okay, let's look at the pretty coasters and maybe that will help me relax a bit.
I used the same cotton material for the front and back. In the middle I sandwiched some fleece, sewed right sides together, turned inside out, top stitched around the edge and then did some quilting lines all over. While I was quilting I realized that it would be more interesting if I quilted a different design on each one. So, that is why they do not all match. If I give these away as a gift I'll go back and make some more.
Thanks for stopping by! I do have plans for the last piece of fabric, but I probably won't get to it right away. I am starting our Homeschool back up on Monday, so that will be taking up a lot more of my time.
