Looks like I forgot to post these reversible Christmas coasters I made for Lynx2Lancer in the 12 Days of Christmas Swap.
They’re made with a stiff sewable interfacing between 2 pieces of quilting cotton then I use the overcast stitch on my regular sewing machine.
I’ve made several sets over the years and I love how well they hold up! I like to switch them out to match the seasons. Thanks for looking!
I love these!! What a great and easy way to showcase some fun fabrics!
Is it the same fabric on both sides?
Thank you! Different fabrics on each side but I forgot to get a picture of the backs before I sent them 
What a great idea, and they turned out so well. Cute fabrics! The dotty one is my favorite.
Super cute!
What a great way to be festive while using/enjoying some small pieces of fabric!
What a clever idea for a fast, useful gift that uses up scraps. Everyone needs coasters, especially from cute fabrics.
I love these! How big are they?
I think these were either 4” or 4.5” wide.
I’ve never used the overlock stitch. But I love what you did with it. I might have to try this out. Thanks for the inspiration.
Cute! How did you find turning the corners with that stitch? Seems like that would be easier than with a serger.
I cheated and stopped, took it out completely, and restarted. I also have a serger and haven’t really used it but would be interested if there is a better way to do it. How would you do it with a serger?
Corners are hard to serge, I just wouldn’t. You have to run off the end & then have tails to deal with, it’s like weaving in yarn ends. PITA!
Ahh so same as what I was doing with the overcast stitch.
Oh I just reread your original message and you said easier than with a serger. I thought you said it would be easier with a serger! I’m completely self taught with sewing and wasn’t sure if there was a trick I didn’t know about 
No, you did great! Clever to use the overcast stitch. There are good serger-free options on a regular machine for sure.
Such a smart little gift! I have one of these coasters that you sent me in a cute birdcage fabric that’s in regular use on my work desk, and it is very neat and sturdy 
These are great! You made excellent fabric choices and I LOVE anything that is reversible.
They are so neat and well made! Love the fabrics!
Congratulations! Your superb craft is one of this week’s Featured Projects! 
Wow, those are beautiful coasters! I love the reversible design, and the colors are so festive.
Do you have any tips for beginners who want to make their own coasters?
