Dress Up Tea Time with Pretty Fabric Saucers

| They Make Lovely Coasters, Too!
Treat your favorite tea drinkers to these charming fabric saucers. Inspired by a Japanese tea set, they will be a pretty and genteel addition to your afternoon tea.
The saucers can also be used as mug rugs and coasters. While we love the “Tea” tags, you can omit them for charming everyday coasters that can be used for any beverage.
Start with a pretty fabric and a second one for the center (in this case, white). The saucers are turned so there’s no binding to deal with, and fusible appliqué is used to create the center circles. Hand embroider the “Tea” tags. As you can see, they’re beautiful featuring any smaller-sized print.
Designed by Jasmine from Linen Bouquet, the completed saucers are 5.5″ across.
PLEASE NOTE: Quilting Digest has featured many patterns from vendors participating in the Craftsy Marketplace, most of which have been deleted by Craftsy. It's going to take awhile for us to hunt down new sources for those patterns. In the meantime there are many links to patterns on our site that no longer work. We apologize if this article contains one or more of those links and appreciate your patience while we straighten things out. Thank you!
PLEASE NOTE: Quilting Digest does not sell or otherwise provide patterns directly. We showcase patterns and projects from various vendors, bloggers and other sources. Please make a note of where you access a pattern (the link in the yellow box toward the end of each Quilting Digest article). That way you can contact Support for that source if you have downloading problems or other issues. Thank you!
