Big Stitch coasters to keep.

July 12, 2015 by carolyn friedlander 5 Comments

I’ve been wanting to make myself a set of these big stitch coasters ever since I made them for this tutorial, and I finally got around to doing that recently.

I love projects like this, because they are super functional. As a big tea drinker, I find that you can never have too many little things to set a cup on. Because of that, this is one of my go-to gifts, but this set is the one that I get to keep.

5″ squares of your favorite prints are perfect for this project. The simple shape is a great way to showcase them. After receiving a set of Lotta Jansdotter squares, I knew that this is what I wanted to do with them.

If you’ve not tried big stitch before, this is a good way to try it. You can explore working with different colors and different types of thread, plus the small size makes for a speedy finish.

+ Fabric: Assorted Lotta Jansdotter prints for the fronts, Doe for binding, Rashida Coleman Hale fabric for the backs.

    These are lovely–I love how using the same binding makes the different prints feel like a set. Second Anna’s comment about your super tidy binding!

    I love these! I’m glad you wrote this post because I missed that tutorial on Sew Mama Sew somehow…I want to try. My binding will not be as neat, but it will be good practice for me.
