present mug rug

It could not be Christmas season without sewing some mug rugs! This year, it will be a very limited edition, as in one, it was not a fast project but it turned out really cute:

I mean what is not to love: linen, Liberty of London and presents, oh and paper piecing!

I used this pattern from Clover and Violet. It is a fairly easy pattern, just square/rectangle shapes and no precise joined points, unlike this dress or dressform!

But it is time consuming, and so reserve to a someone special. If you are looking for a nice but faster mug rug for the Holidays, check these ones:

For the fastest of the them all:

And finally the one that stayed with me in the sewing room:

Happy sewing!
