Cup Cozies
MLK Day found me off work and at home, crafting. I thought I'd make my co-workers cup cozies since we all drink coffee and tea in the office. We have paper cups but we don't have the cardboard holders so I thought these would come in handy. They're reversible and washable. And I got 17 done in one day!

I followed this tutorial (http://www.flickr.com/photos/14892851@N05/sets/72157602905225307/) to get the basic idea but I actually used a seam gage to trace a pattern around a Starbuck's cardboard holder and made one end smaller (just like the actual cardboard one is) so I could tuck it in instead of sew it end over end. The fabrics are Amy Butler, Joel Dewberry, etc, quilt weight cotton. I don't know which one I'd keep for myself- I love them all!

Those are great cozies! Great fabrics. I have thought of making one of these for my mother – addicted to Starbucks.
Keep up the sewing!
and her co-workers are very grateful….
