Reverse Appliqué: Upcyled Coasters

Give old t-shirts new life in this hands-on introduction to reverse appliqué. Using simple hand-sewing techniques, you'll learn how to layer fabrics, stitch decorative designs, and cut away the top layer to reveal the colors and textures beneath.

This approachable project is a great introduction to decorative hand sewing while exploring a creative way to repurpose worn textiles. As you stitch, you'll discover how reverse appliqué transforms everyday materials into something both beautiful and useful.

In this workshop you'll:

• Learn the fundamentals of reverse appliqué by hand
• Practice layering, stitching, and cutting to reveal contrasting fabrics
• Create your own reversible design using upcycled t-shirts
• Complete a small coaster while building confidence with hand sewing techniques
• Explore a creative approach to textile reuse and upcycling

You'll leave with a finished reverse appliqué coaster and the skills to continue transforming old t-shirts into one-of-a-kind handmade projects.
