I received a custom order for a large number of mug rugs. So I quickly got to work and have been busy pulling fabrics and playing with different combinations. Mug rugs are a great way to test out fabric combinations before using them in larger projects.
More Flea Market Fancy! I love the aqua, red and grey together. I like to find fun fabrics that I can fussy cut like these large flower clusters which are great for mug rugs.
This process goes a whole lot quicker if you set up an assembly line. Cut all the pieces for each one, sew up the tops, press the tops and backs, pin each one together, sew them up, add all the bindings, and you're all done! Of course it is a little more time consuming than that, but you get the idea.
These are pinned up and ready for stitching.
I am not sure which one is my favorite. It is a toss up between the two in the middle (green, grey and teal and the yellow, grey and soft blue).
More flower bundles... these are so pretty and are from the Millie's Closet collection.
I am excited to see how all of these turn out. Stay tuned for more.
Here are previous mug rug posts:
Happy Sewing!

ReplyDeleteThey look great, but I kept getting distracted by the pretty pretty pins ;-)
ReplyDeleteThose are so pretty! I need to get going on another mug rug!
ReplyDeleteI had never even heard of a mug rug before this but I have to say "HOW CUTE!" I love the colors you have gone with so far and think this is just a super neat project. Can't wait to see more.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see how they turn out. I love your fabric choices!
ReplyDeleteThose will be beautiful mug rugs!
ReplyDeleteAssembly line is definitely the way to go on projects likes this. I made a bunch of card holders a few weeks ago and it went so much faster that way. It was fun pulling out fabrics that went together.
ReplyDeleteI'm really diggin the yellow/grey/blue/white one. Such an appealing colour combo that I'd never have thought of!
ReplyDeleteI love the blue/grey combo!
ReplyDeleteYour mug rugs are beautiful, I just made my 1st mug rug tonight, but stopped at adding the binding! what is it about sewing binding? Hopefully I will finish it soon.
ReplyDeleteThose are great - I like all the fabric combinations you put together.
ReplyDeleteDo you have a mug rug pattern?
