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.
