craftgrrlAnother holiday gift down!
Using this awesome tutorial from AllSorts.com, I made these coasters for a friend of mine who just moved into her own apartment. She's going to love the fabrics, and I hope she likes the coasters, too. They are super simple to make (no hand finishing!), and come out wonderfully.
Modifications I made from the tutorial: I didn't use any interfacing or inner layer of fabric. They're still pretty firm and nice, and will protect her table well.
Please ignore the wine fabric I was using as a make-shift ironing board. Click for a bigger view! It's much better close up.
Preview - coasters in progress, and wrapped up and ready to go!
Another slightly crafty note: I was in the grocery store when I learned I needed to have most of my holiday presents wrapped and ready to go the next morning. I grabbed some candy canes, ribbon, and brown paper bags, and it was perfect for all of my hand-knit presents that were squishy (and it was a lot cheaper than gift bags).
Since everyone would know that the brown paper bag presents came from me, I simply wrote the name of the giftee on the bottom of the bag.
