Coffee Cup Cozy
Tonight I made a Coffee Cup Cozy. I used a cardboard one from a local gas station as a template.
When I started, I choose some junk fabric I had in the drawer. My intention was to make it quickly, to not spend much time on the draft, and just work out the kinks. In the end I would make a “real” one. But, it is green; and my favorite shade of green. So I could not resist finishing it.
I will get the pattern together and posted next week. I have to wait until I am back in the office to scan the pattern. But basically this is what I did:
- I sewed the top and bottom seams
- Turned it right side out
- Pressed under the raw edges
- Topstitched the edges
- Free motion quilted the design
- Used a decorative stitch to attach the pends together.
I does not have velcro or snaps. It is sewed to a circle that you can flatten to store away. The only problems I encountered were that the patten was a bit small, I need to make it about 1/2 inch longer and the decorative stitch I chose looks messy. I will choose somthing better next time, or maybe I will leave that space blank from the free motion quilting; this was the decorative stitches will show up more.

Very nice, I love the fabric! This is one of those projects that makes an easy and nice gift that non-crafters can really appreciate
) I just made a couple of knitted ones using patterns I found on Ravelry. One has cables, and it was my first time trying those. I am sooo addicted to them now!
