A Santa Mug Rug

Here is a paper-pieced Santa Mug Rug.  Practice your paper piecing skills while making this cute little mug just in time for the holidays! Mmmm, won’t it be great to sit before the fire with a cup of hot chocolate and a couple of cookies?

Paper-Pieced Santa Mug Rug

Supplies: fabric, batting, backing, and embellishments to make this little 6″ X 6″ mug rug.

If you are new to paper piecing, you will find these things helpful:

• A strong light source
• Foundation Piecing Paper
• An add-a-quarter or add-an-eighth ruler to trim seams
• Size 14 (denim) needles for your machine
• Very thin pins or a washable glue stick to hold your fabric in place momentarily
• A seam ripper
• A small iron – not a steam iron. An iron finger is always useful.
• A small mat and 18mm or 28mm rotary cutter
• Scotch Brand removable magic tape to repair rips in the paper. This tape won’t melt under the heat of the iron and is easily removed.
