How to Make a Reusable Coffee Cup Sleeve:
- Use the disposable coffee sleeve to create a template for cutting fabric. Draw around the sleeve 1/2" from the edge and cut out.
- Pin the template to the wool fabric and cut it out using the 10" fabric shears.
- Use the rotary cutter, ruler, and cutting mat to cut strips of cotton print fabric, measuring 1-1/2" wide.
- To create the binding, use a hot iron to press the strips of fabric first in half lengthways, wrong sides facing. Then, press the outside edges in towards the center fold.
- Pin, then sew the opening binding to the right side of one long edge of the cut wool. Trim the seam with the fabric shears.
- Fold the binding to the wrong side of the wool fabric and hand stitch in place with needle and thread.
- Repeat Step 5 for the remaining edges of the wool fabric.
- Sew Velcro strips to the two short ends for the wool cup sleeve to complete.
