-Repeat with the other half of the fabric

-Turn over the backing/wadding so right side of backing is now facing downwards


Step 3:

-Mark the centre point of a short side of the backing with a pin

-Position one fabric strip centrally on top of the wadding, aligning with the pin. ---Pin in place

-Position second fabric strip directly on top of the first strip, right sides together and pin in place

-Sew ¼“ seam along the length of the strip

-Flip open the strip and press



-Repeat this process with a further three strips

Step 5:

-Trim to a finished piece 19 ½“x40” ready to divide into placemats and coasters

-Out of the 7 strips piece, cut 4 placemats to size 15”x10”

-Out of the 2 strips piece, cut 8 coasters to size 4 ½“x4½ “
