Traditional tablemats, floormats, cup coasters & pot coasters by elderly

As part of our 'Elderly Enterprise' community project in support of the talents and skills of the elderly in Singapore, we also have the following traditional products made by different elderly individuals. Such things remind us of home in the good old days:


TRADITIONAL TABLEMATS

These are made from fabric remnants (new fabric, not used fabric). The bigger tablemat can also be used as a floormat or a seat cushion. The smaller tablemat is meant for the kitchen as a cushion for hot pot but can also be used in the living room to place your flower vase on.

Traditional Tablemats: $12 (large) / $10 (small).



TRADITIONAL FLOORMATS

These traditional floormats are also made from fabric remnants that are cut into small pieces, folded one by one, and sewn together to form the floormat. They are good for trapping dusts from your feet.


Traditional Floormats: $15 - $20 depending on size and fabrics used.



CUP COASTERS

The square-shaped cup coasters are woven from colourful fabric ribbons. The hexagon-shaped coasters are made from fabric remnants folded into hexagon shapes and stitched together.

Cup Coasters: Any 4 pieces for $5.


POT COASTERS

These lovely coasters with a contemporary design shows very fine needlework skills. They're perfect as a coaster for your teapot when you're having friends over for afternoon tea.

Batik Fabric Pot Coaster with Lace: $12 each.
Modern Fabric Pot Coaster: $10 each.

TO ORDER, please email us here and we'll send you pictures of the individual designs we currently have to let you choose. Delivery is free if your order is at least $30, otherwise there's a nominal delivery charge of $3.
