Description
This mug rug / hot pad is larger than a coaster and smaller than a placemat and perfect for a cup and snack to fit on. The project is a sewing project that can be sewn by hand or with a sewing machine and is a great project to learn the basics of quilt piecing and various types of quilt stitching on a small scale. There are four five-inch squares folded into half-square triangles that will be stitched onto the four corners of a 10-inch square which creates a diamond shape in the center. The steps to complete include the tacking of the four half-square triangles into place so they align with the four corners of the ten-inch square, then this will be sewn face to face with the backing and batting around all four sides. Once sewn all around, there is a small opening in the center of the backing to turn the project right side out. The opening will be closed with a “Hand made with love” ribbon that has a fabric adhesive backing.
The kit comes pre-cut and pre-assembled ready for stitching together! All you need are your sewing notions – needle, thread, scissors, pin cushion, pins, and optional needle threader and thimbles. Another option is to use an embroidery needle and embroidery thread, as well as a quilting hoop (recommend 6″ size) to perform some quilting stitches to finish.
