This week one of my sewing friends wanted to come up with an idea for a little gift to give to her children's teachers as an end-of-year thank you. She thought an apple-shaped coaster would be just perfect for the teachers to use on their desks for their coffee mugs.
So I found a pattern for an apple and made this little coaster! I sewed two fabrics together and then quilted the top piece with thin batting underneath. Then I cut out the apple shape, added a backing fabric and a thermal batting piece to the inside. I inserted the jute rope for the stem before I sewed it all together. Then I turned it right-side out and stitched around the edge, closing up the opening for turning.
I made a fabric leaf and attached it with a small flat button. To complete the project, I added a little stamping tag complete with an apple!
The gift is all ready to go!
