Sashiko Applique Denim Coasters

"These upcycled denim coasters are a relaxing hand-sewing project made from old jeans and fabric scraps. Using simple running stitches, Sashiko-style embroidery, and a clever reverse appliqué technique, you’ll create unique handmade coasters with colourful felt peeking through the denim. This beginner-friendly sewing tutorial is perfect for slow stitching lovers and anyone who enjoys mindful crafting. It’s a great way to practise hand embroidery while turning leftover denim into something practical and beautiful. Each coaster comes out slightly different, making them ideal for gifts or your own coffee table. A creative scrap-busting project with plenty of room to experiment."
