Anyone who knows me knows that I LOVE Starbucks. I've tried to make my skinny vanilla latte at home and it just doesn't taste the same. I use Starbucks syrup AND espresso beans and it still doesn't taste the same. I'm pretty sure they put crack in their coffee {or another secret ingredient}. Anyway, my mom brought me a wonderfully delicious latte on Saturday and I decided to make a few coffee cozies. Cozies are a great way to add some flair to your cup as well as helping reduce waste. You can make your very own using some scrap fabric and buttons! Here we go!
 |
| Layer 2 pieces of fabric, wrong sides together and one piece of fusible interfacing. Open a cozie and pin it to the 3 layers. |
 |
| Cut around a cardboard cozie, leaving about 1/2" in every side. |
 |
| Cut a 1" strip of knit (or another coordinating fabric). Make it a long strip, we'll cut off the excess after we make the ruffle. |
 |
| On the top piece of fabric, pin the end of the knit and start ruffling by folding the knit underneath itself and sewing a straight stitch. Ruffle as much as you'd like depending on how much of the strip you have. |
 |
| Pretty ruffles! Cut off the excess knit strip. Now iron on the interfacing. |
 |
| Put the pieces right sides together and sew a very small seam along all three edges. |
 |
| Clip the corners. |
 |
| Turn it right side out, using a wooden skewer to turn the corners. Press at the seam to make it lay flat. Turn the open end into itself 1/4" and press. |
 |
| Sew right along the edge on all 4 sides. Almost done! |
 |
| Measure your cozy around the Starbucks cup of your choice (mine was a Grande). Hold it as you slip it back off of the cup. |
 |
| Sew on some buttons or other embellishments to close the cozy. |
 |
| All done - ruffly coffee goodness! |
These are super cute...and simple! Can't wait to browse the rest of your stuff!
