Want a quick and satisfying sewing project? Learn how to make cotton rope coasters with this beginner-friendly tutorial from The Birch Cottage! These cute coasters come together in under 30 minutes and are a great way to try sewing with cotton clothesline rope.
You’ll use a wide zigzag stitch to join the rope in a spiral – start with the widest stitch width and tweak it until it looks just right. A heavy-duty needle (like one used for denim) is essential to handle the thick rope. One of the best parts? You can get creative with thread colors to make each coaster unique. Whether you match the thread for a subtle finish or go bold with contrast stitching, these coasters add a handmade touch to any table. Great for gifts, decor, or just using up spare supplies!
