I always make a cup of coffe using my Keurig Coffee Maker at home...
and then bring it with me to work or play (depending on the day).
Although I keep cups and lids on hand - I never seem to have any "cozies"
around. So last night I decided to make my own!
Using (3) fun fabrics, I cut (2) 3" X 4.5" pieces from each print.
I stiched each piece together using a 1/4" seam allowance and then using
the template cut the pattern from the stiched rectangle.
I cut an additional pattern piece from a matching fabric for the reverse side and also
cut a pattern piece from some fusible pellon for the lining.
After fusing the pellon with an iron to the pieced front, I placed an elastic hair tie
between the layers and with the wrong sides together sewed all around leaving a 2"
opening for turning.
Final touch is to hand sew a button on the opposite side of the cozie for closing.
And there you have it - now I have my own personal coffee cozie ready to go!
Stay "coffee" Cozie!
I will be happy to email the pattern and directions to you if you are interested...just leave me a comment and let me know!
Carrie, so adorable!!! I love the prints you chose too.
ReplyDeleteCarrie, Thank you for visiting my blog. I am looking forward to getting to know you. What an adorable blog!
ReplyDeleteThat's just the cutest thing and will keep the cup from slipping out of your hand.
ReplyDeleteThat's adorable and I love the fabrics.
ReplyDeleteCarrie, The cozies are so cute and very clever . I like the big button closure. They would make awesome gifts for co-workers. Blessings, xoxo, Susie

What a cute cozie! I love making these! I crochet mine, but I've always wanted to sew a few!
ReplyDeleteSo sweet to look at and practical too. A great combination
ReplyDeleteThat is such a sweet idea! I don't drink coffee, just tea, but it's cute anyway. Love the fabrics you used. I have my favorite tea mug and some cute little teacup shaped pads to set it on.. and I'm set to go for the morning!
ReplyDeleteAdorable!
ReplyDeleteSooo cute...love the bright pretty fabrics you chose....
ReplyDeleteLove it, Carrie. I made several of these years ago...not as cute as yours though...and have lost them all. I think I need to make some more! You did a great job!!! xo Diana
ReplyDeleteHi Carrie!
