I don't drink coffee, but do enjoy a nice cup of hot chocolate every once in a while. So when it came time to do a 'sewing' swap, I decided to whip up a few of these for my crafting buddies.
They hare reversible with a button latch and once you get the idea, are pretty easy to make. I recommend making a bunch of them in a huge batch and then holding onto them as they make great gifts and stocking stuffers. Just imagine one of these around an empty Starbucks cup with a gift card inside! Simple, cute and something everyone can use!
Items Needed:
1. (2) different fabrics (if you want them reversible).
2. A sewing machine!
3. (2) buttons (one for each side)
4. An elastic hair band
5. Felt (inside 'batting')
6. Scissors
7. Thread
8. Iron
Directions:
I did not whip up this pattern all by myself. I actually followed a tutorial I found and tweaked it to my tastes. The tutorial can be found HERE as credit should go to those who actually put the time and effort into making such a tutorial.
As you'll note, instead of batting, I used felt. I found that it held it's shape better than ordinary batting and absorbed the heat! I also added a button to each side to make it reversible.
