Lets walk through the simple steps and supply list to sew your own fabric coffee cozies!
Supplies Needed:
Outer fabric for coffee cozy (cotton, quilting cotton, etc.
Use an existing cardboard cup cozy as a pattern template.
Lay it right-side up on your chosen outer fabric and trace around it.2.
Do this for both the outer and lining fabrics.3.
Take your insulating batting or fleece and trace just the interior pattern piece (without seam allowance).
Cut it out to use as filler between the outer and lining fabrics.4.
For the lining fabric, iron the fusible fleece to the wrong side to give it some structure.
Pin the outer fabric pieces right sides together.
Pin the lining pieces right sides together separately.6.
Using a 1/4 seam allowance, sew around the pinned outer pieces, leaving a 2-3 gap for turning.
Repeat for the lining pieces.7.
Insert the insulating fleece between the outer and lining pieces.8.
Sandwich the lining inside the outer cozy layers, pinning in place with the right sides facing out.
Ensure the opening gaps are aligned.
Add some fabric glue to the gap opening area.
Sew the opening closed with a top stitch close to the cozy edge.
This will secure the elastic loop.11.
Sew a button to the elastic loop to be the cozys closure.
I definitely recommend making several cozies in assorted fabrics and colors to complement any mug or mood.
Everyone is always so charmed by the personal, creative touch while appreciating how useful these sleeves are.
