Instructions

  1. Small mug rug 040

    Gather your supplies. You'll need two pieces of fabric for your rug that are approx. the same size. A piece for your pocket and some fusable interfacing.

  2. Small mug rug 041

    Start by pressing your fabric and pressing down all your sides to your pocket.

  3. Small mug rug 042

    Also press your fusable interfacing onto one of your pieces for your rug.

  4. Small mug rug 043

    Top stitch the top of your pocket. - Do yourself a favor and make sure your pocket is big enough to fit a package of Earl Grey first. I ended up re-making my pocket because I didn't the first time.

  5. Small mug rug 044

    Once your pocket is the right size, pin and sew it down to one side of your rug.

    Ta-Da!

    Next pull out your embroidery floss and use the back stitch and the satin stitch to embroider your emblem on to the opposite side of your rug.

  8. Small mug rug 047

    Next place the two sides of your rug right sides together and sew around leaving a 3 inch opening to turn right-side out later.

  9. Small mug rug 048

    Trim your corners and turn right side out. Press flat and top stitch all the way around.
