Beau Chateau Fabric

These projects use the Beau Chateau fabric.  The first is a jewelry bag made with a coaster base. 


Die cut a coaster using the 3″ circle die.  Cut two pieces of Beau Chateau fabric using the 3 1/2″ circle die.  Use Tombow mono adhesive to adhere the fabric to the coaster.  Cut two pieces of fabric 5 /2 x 11 and sew them together, wrong sides together, at the long side.  (I used the rooster print and the Marina Mist print.  Now sew a seam up the short ends, wrong sides together, making a tube.  Fold the tube at the seam – right sides together.  Sew a line at 1″ down and 1 1/2″ down for the ribbon casing.  To attach the tube to the coaster I ran a long stitch around the bottom of the tube.  This gives me a gathering stitch and gives me so “cheat room” if I need it.  Hand stitch the bag to the coaster using small stitches.  Run the ribbon through the channel made at the top by using a crochet needle to wiggle two openings on each side.  Add a fabric flower! 

The coasters were made by cutting two pieces of Beau Chateau fabric 4 1/2 x 4 1/2 and a piece of batting 4 x 4.  Use a 1/4 seam to sew the fabric, wrong sides together, leaving a small opening on one side.  Insert the batting and tuck in the seam.  Sew around the coaster in a square – then a smaller square – then a smaller square – get the idea? 


Don’t look to closely at my lines – they are not very straight!  This is a great way to use up left over fabric.  These have the same fabric on each side – but you could simpler use up all your scraps and have reversible coasters!   Enjoy!  Hugs, Fran
