tea mats, or more mug rugs

For Christmas I received some sewing books,
and one of them is "Sew Illustrated" by Mini Kim.
Her blog Minki's Work Table is such as inspiration.

Of course I had to make something right away.
So I sewed 2 cute mug rugs, or tea mats as they are called in the book!


I could not help myself : I used Liberty of London with my linen!

They are pretty fast and easy: trace, iron, cut, iron, stitch...



Then a little hand stitch around the perimeter with embroidery floss,
and voila: ready for tea!


I think the macarons are my favorite.

I need to make a few more, luckily I have lots of little pieces of Liberty of London fabrics,
begging to be stitched into cute little things...

Happy sewing!
