Cute Coaster From Piping
2 Materials
10 Minutes
Easy
After sewing all day, I just wanted a mini sewing project and a cup of coffee, and since I have yards upon yards with piping, it made perfect sense to make a coaster from piping!!!
I made two jackets, a pair of pants, two infinity scarves and a hat(the one in the picture with a broche on it...), and so I wasn't quite ready to start another big project, and needed a break so I got myself a cup of coffe, mummyhomealone style(that is with Baileys in it, tjihi!!!) and I realised I didn't have anywhere to put it, and the bag of piping caught my eye... AHA, I'll make one!!!
I chose the white one, and a bright purple thread...
I cut 10 strips, 6" each
I sewed a simple zig zag pattern across all of them
Then I took 5 and put them next to eachother like this...
...and started weaving the other ones, one at the time...
...over, under, over, under, over... And make sure to start the next one the oposite way: -under, over, under, over, under...
This is how I've found it the easiest to weave, from the bottom up at the opposite side....
So, when it looks like this, carefully turn it over...
...fasten alle the ends with pins underneath... (And if you have a tablecloth underneath like this working cloth I use, try not to fasten the whole thing to the tablecloth as well... I did... 7 times... Yeah, I'm blonde...)
This is what mine looked like when all the ends were fastened. Time to sew again!
Flip it over again, and give it a straight seam around the edge, and that's it!
Easy peasy, right!!! So now I can enjoy my coffe and figure out what to make next... And yeah, I finished my cup while making this post... Time to get to work again!!!
