"I have made coasters similar to this and they are so simple but so nice looking to use for any occasion. I love the idea to just use a 5 by 5 quilting ruler and a rotary cutter to make cutting so much easier. If you are making any draperies or recovering chairs you can use some of the leftover fabric to co-ordinate your colors. Make some and give as housewarming gifts or even to family and friends.Super easy for someone learning to sew. Thanks"

"Even without a coat of paint, this is one fabric project that can have big impact as it can change a drab chair or a set of dining room chairs into delightful vintage ambiance, evoke spring or summer times, or really herald in any season desired in very little time at all. I found the project very easy to do."

"Oh WOW I love these adorable coasters that resemble quilting and love that they are so easy to make. This is a great way to use up those fabric stashes or even fat quarters. You can make them to match your decor or a friends. The coasters will make super gifts for anyone or make some to give away as hostess gifts or prizes. Great way to teach someone to sew too. It also has a video too. Can not wait to try it."

"This one yard baby tunic is just too cute. There is a free printable pattern for 0 to 3 months size and instructions that seem easy to follow and best of all no zippers or buttons! A light weight fabric in an adorable nursery print would be perfect for this pattern."

"What a unique idea and a great way to use up all those lace trimmings. I might use some soft white cotton or linen as a foundation to sew the all those laces onto for a more summery feel. Nice scrappy fabric project. I like the idea of using the finished project as a shawl too."

Remona from The Stitching Scientist

Remona from The Stitching Scientist Hi! My name is Remona. I am the creator of The Stitching Scientist; a blog that features free beginner sewing patterns, tutorials and projects for the novice designer. I am a full time Research Scientist who enjoys working with fabrics as my hobby. I knew sewing was for me when I walked into my local fabric store and walked out 4 hours later with a cart full of fabrics! Sewing takes me away from my day job of graphs and formulas into a playful, creative world that I am privileged to be able to experience. My most important job is being a single mother to a beautiful little girl and two wonderful dogs, who make each day worth living. I am a firm believer of the “you can do it too” philosophy from which my blog was created. I enjoy sharing simple inexpensive, short projects and tutorials that any novice or expert can recreate without feeling overwhelmed. Thanks for taking the time to get to know me and I hope you will join in on the creativity as we learn to design and craft together.
