Step 2: Cut Out Fabrics

Out of the orangey fabric cut out 2 acorn bottoms.

Out of the browish fabric cut 2 acorn tops.

Out of the batting cut out 1 acorn top and 1 acorn bottom.

Step 3: Make Acorn Bottom

Place acorn bottoms right side together. Then lay the batting against the wrong side of one of the acorn bottoms.

Step 4: Finish Acorn Bottom

Using a 1/4” seam allowance, stitch sides together and leave the top open for turning.

Turn acorn bottom right side out and press. Set aside.

Step 5: Trim Batting in Acorn Top

In order for the acorn top batting to fit better you will need to trim off the batting stem at the top and trim away batting 1/4” from the bottom. Note: This is the only place you trim away the stem.

Step 6: Sewing Acorn Top

Using the same method from Step 3, place acorn tops right sides together. Then lay the batting against one of the wrong sides of the acorn tops.

The batting will be 1/4” shorter. This is where you will begin the stitching. Stitch the sides and top, but leave the bottom open for turning.

Step 7: Assembling the Acorn Coaster

Turn acorn top right side out. Press under the raw edges on the bottom.

Place the acorn top over the acorn bottom. Pin to hold.

Now for the fun part! Look through your sewing machine’s decorative stitches. Choose one that can swing from side to side, such as a zigzag.

You want to be able to catch both fabrics when attaching. Stitch the acorn top to acorn bottom. Topstitch if desired.

Pro Tip: Using a fabric glue pen can keep this from shifting while you sew. Also, a Walking Foot is another tool to keep the two pieces aligned.
