When I first moved in my apartment, I bought some cotton quilted coasters on Etsy that tied some of my decor colors together. However, these coasters find themselves on the floor more often than the tabletops because they slip around so easily. Solution? Non-slip rug pads.
I'm still mourning my red corduroy skirt that I botched a few weeks ago. I tried getting fancy with a self-designed waistband, then hastily cut into the back seam to take it in... whoops, way too tight. Can't part with the fabric, though, so now it's helping protect my living room furniture from beer bottle ring stains.
 |
| Cut two pieces of 4"x4" fabric per coaster. |
 |
| Apply fusible interfacing to the wrong side of each piece. |
 |
| Pin a 3"x3" piece of non-slip rug padding to the right side of one side of the coaster only. |
 |
| Your sewing machine's presser foot will not want to slide over the rug pad, so do the minimal amount of sewing necessaryto secure it (I did corners). |
 |
| With right sides together (the rug pad will be inside), sew around the corners, leaving a gap to turn. |
 |
| Clip corners and trim seams, but leave enough fabric around the gap so that you can secure it by topstitching later. |
 |
| Turn right side out, poking out corners. Press. Topstitch close to the edge, all the way around, securing the gap. |
 |
| You can only see the rug pad if you lean down and look for it. |
Just TRY and scoot this thing across a wood table. This baby's going nowhere.
