Today’s sewing is so simple that you can let your children do it. But do not forget to check on them every now and then, so that there is no disaster… ?

You are going to need some felt sheets (ideally in autumn colors).

If you don't want to draw directly on the felt, you can put your favorite mug on the paper and trace it with pencil.

Then draw leaf (or different shape) around the circle.

Cut out the leaf and use it as a template. Trace template on the felt of the main color (mine is brown). This will be the top part of the cup pad.

Cut out the leaf from the felt and lay it on the felt of the second color (in my case it is yellow), which will serve as “background” of the cup pad.

“Trace” the leaf on this sheet too but make the outline about half a centimeter larger than the top part in all directions (inflate it).

Sew top leaf to the background one by hand. Use small stitches. Sew around all edges of the top leaf (even around midrib and veins) to keep both parts together neatly.
