Why Not Sew?: Handmade Coasters with Crocheted Edge

Handmade Coasters with Crocheted Edge

I've been on bit of a crocheting kick lately. I want to put a crocheted edge on EVERYTHING!!! It started with these ornaments I made. Now I'm making coasters for Christmas gifts. Super simple. I'll post a little quickie tutorial soon.

I also added a crocheted edge to the tea towel that Charise sent me. I love it! At this point nothing is safe from a crocheted edge!!!

*** My inspiration for the edgings came from Heather's beautiful handmades!

Have a great week!
