The Tea Time Mug Rug Tutorial ... now in an easy to save and print PDF file. An original design of mine, this popular mug rug was originally featured as a tutorial on the Wild Olive blog, and is now available here as a PDF file.
What is a mug rug? Bigger than a coaster, yet smaller than a place mat, a mug rug is the perfect size for a drink and a snack (tea & cookies, coffee and a bagel ... whatever you fancy). I have also seen them called "snack mats", as they are the perfect size for little ones eating a small snack. Make them for home, for the office, as gifts or to sell.
As a sewing project, this mug rug is easy to make -- even for beginners, and uses small bits of fabric ... the perfect scrap buster. The directions are written for someone using a sewing machine, but could easily be adapted to a hand sewing project.
