Quick & Easy Coffee Cozy Sleeves



Here is a Quick and Easy Coffee Cozy tutorial that can be stitched up less than 30 minutes and would make great gifts for Valentine's Day or any other holiday.

1)First print out the pattern and cut along the dark lines. Click on pattern to enlarge and print off.




2)Place right side up of cotton fabric on coordinating flannel.

3) Pin cut out pattern piece in place.

4)Cut about 1/8 inch away from dotted lines with pinking shears. Cut thru all 3 layers .


5)Pin your cut out cotton and flannel together.

6) Sew a straight line edge about 1/8" away from the edge around all 4 sides.
7) Take the sewn fabric and iron on low heat to get out any wrinkles and make smooth.

8) Fold short sides together with right side of fabric touching on the inside. Make sure to line up edges properly.



9) Sew a straight line down the edge that you have just matched up.

10) Turn right side out and decorate with coordinating buttons , self stick scrapbooking embellishments, or whatever else tickles your fancy!

Sit back and admire your work- your done!

Thanks for the tutorial. It would be great to have these in the glove compartment of the car. It would be a great gift with a gift card for coffee/tea.
