Harvest Leaf Coasters – Free Tutorial:
These Harvest Leaf Coasters are a quick, modern project that’s perfect for beginners and a lovely way to use favourite fabric scraps. Each coaster is made from just two fabric pieces and shaped with a simple stitched fold at the top to create the leaf silhouette. They’re fast to sew, giftable, and a sweet addition to your desk, coffee table, or sewing space.

Materials
- Two pieces of fabric, each 4½ x 6 inches
- Embroidery floss
- Harvest Leaf Coaster Template
Instructions
1. Cut the Fabric
Using the Harvest Leaf Coaster Template , cut two leaf shapes — one for the front and one for the back.
2. Sew the Coaster
Place the two pieces right sides together and pin around the edges. Sew around the outside using a ¼ inch seam allowance, leaving the gap indicated on the template.
3. Turn and Press
Clip the corners, then turn the coaster right side out through the opening. Press well, ensuring the edges are smooth. Hand‑stitch the opening closed.
4. Create the Leaf Shape
At the top of the coaster, fold the fabric into a W‑shape — the midpoint and both outer edges fold upward to meet at the top. Secure the fold with a few small stitches of embroidery floss, approximately ¾ inch from the top edge. Repeat at the bottom of the coaster to define the leaf shape. Press again to finish.
Gift Ideas
These coasters make thoughtful handmade gifts — pair one with a favourite tea blend, a mug, or a small treat for a simple, heartfelt present.
