As I'm packing for our move soon (read more about our move to Kyoto here), I find some of my earlier projects - small stuff, made mainly from scraps as then I was nervous about cutting into good fabric, scarred of making mistakes and ruinning perfectly good fabric.
Looking at those stuff now, I think they are a perfect way to reduce some of the mounting scraps you might have collected over the months/years of sewing. The final product would make a cute and warm gift to friends and loved ones. It would also be a great excuse to take an afternoon off from sewing serious stuff and wander into your scraps bags looking for matching strips to make one of these items *smile*
Snack mat in the shape of cup and saucer - it's smaller than placemat and is suitable for kids' snack time

Another snack mat in brown
Hand sewed coaster - coffee mug
Another coffe mug coaster
Would anyone be interested in a tutorial for the snack mat and coffee mug coaster??

So cute! Love the first snack matt, the pink one so girly. Oh please Sue, yes to the tutorial! Nak wat jugak. But I doubt my kids can get used to the idea of snack matt, derang tu makan snack sambil running, jumping and making mess all over *sigh*.... :D
What a splendid way to use up scraps! Did you use eyelet lace on the first snack mat? Beautiful idea :-).
The coffee mug coaster is soooo cute.
Yes to the tutorial too. So I can make one for myself. Tp rasa sayang pulak nak guna sbb cantik sgt!
Thanks for the kind words on my wonky snack mats and coffee mug coasters y'all.
