You can totally make a bunch of these apple coasters since it’s a quick and easy project.

I do recommend sticking with a patchwork theme for this coaster. I have made a plain green apple coaster before this and it didn’t turn out exactly how I wanted it to.

The patchwork apple coaster looks way more interesting and creative!

This tutorial has everything you need to get started. Let’s begin.

Instructions

Begin by cutting out a small leaf shape in a green fabric. Place the fabric with the right sides facing in and hand stitch the leaf while leaving a small opening.

Use the opening to turn the fabric to the right side. Then, grab your needle and thread to close the opening. The leaf is now complete.

Cut out the patterned fabric into 5 cm squares. Place two squares together with the right sides facing in and join.

Open the piece and you’ll see a beautiful joined patchwork piece. Grab another square and lay it on the flower square with the right sides facing in.

Stitch those two pieces together and open it out again. You should have 3 squares joined.

Go ahead and sew 2 more strips with the remaining squares.

Grab your first strip and place it down on the fabric batting. Grab another square, place it on the first strip with the right sides facing in, and sew.

Then open out the two strips, grab the last strip, place it on the second strip with the right sides facing in, and then sew these two strips together.

Take this patchwork piece and use it as the measurement to cut out the lining.

Arrange the lining on top of the patchwork piece with the right sides facing in. Then, grab your apple cut out and use a marker or tailor chalk to draw out the shape of the apple.

Head to the machine again and begin stitching one side of the apple. When you come towards the top of the apple, remove the fabric from the machine, open out the fabric, and place your leaf inside.

Continue sewing until you reach the end of the piece but leave a small portion of the fabric open to turn the coaster inside out. Then, grab your scissors and remove the excess fabric.
