Denim coaster

At last! The final Craft Countdown post, and the final post of February. Project #10 was a denim coaster, with light wash on one side and dark on the other. I cut a 4″ square piece of each and stitched across with “jeans gold” thread at half inch intervals.

Now, I didn’t backstitch at all, I just cut the thread at the edge of the fabric. My thought was that it would fray with use and washing, giving a cut-offs look, but the quantity of stitching would ensure it would still hold together. And it did! (thus far.) Of course I pressed it before photographing it, but throwing it in the wash (unprotected by a mesh bag or similar) had exactly the effect I hoped for.
