NEW! Halloween Applique Coaster Sewing Tutorial & FREE! Applique Printable

Celebrate Halloween Sewing and stitch a set of Reversible Palette Coasters with our Spooky-Fun Halloween Appliques! We stitched this easy sewing project with four fat quarters from the NEW! Hocus Pocus Fat Quarter Bundle! Our reversible drink coasters, or mug rugs, feature an envelope back and a front flat surface — an ideal “palette” for showcasing seasonal appliques! The reverse side opens to wrap around the base of a stemmed-glass.

• Cut eight 5″ squares ShirTailor Interfacing for coaster “fronts”.

  After cutting out our applique shapes, we auditioned two background fabrics: Witches Boots on White, and Black Spiderwebs on White. Black Spiderwebs on White won!
