The fabric remnant baskets at Jo-Anne’s are super places to find fabric at a cheaper price, especially if you’d like to experiment with some different kinds. Some of what I’ve found include: pleather, wool felt (kind of expensive to get at full price), and thin clear vinyl (great to turn your parking sticker into a transferable window cling.)
Around third grade, it was the thing to make friendship bracelets from embroidery floss. Do you remember doing anything else with the embroidery floss? I don’t. Recently, I wanted to use it to make a design on a pillow I made, which I did, and also to try it out on the pleather and make some simple coasters.
When I make more of these coasters, I will not be sewing the edges at all. Hopefully I will have some pinking sheers by then, and they will just have zigzag edges.
all different!
with one of my mugs!
