I'm not much of a crocheter (is that a word?) so if something seems strange just let me know!

backing

Place the coaster on top of 2 layers of the backing fabric. Trace an outline 1/8" outside of the coaster.

Put right sides together and sew together using a 1/4" seam allowance. Leave a 1-1/2" gap. Clip curve being careful not to snip sewing thread, turn inside out and iron.

Center the coaster on the bottom of the coaster, and hand stitch the backing to the coaster using coordinating thread.
