Coffee Sleeve Tutorial: Learn to Sew Reusable Fabric Coffee Cozies

[@wandaadams1772]

I just ordered this pattern last night. And I searched for the video so I could watch it. I had stiff interfacing somewhere in my craft room so I went looking for it and decluttered where it was which was under my cutting table. Killed two birds with one stone, found my interfacing and organized under my cutting table. Can’t wait to start making them.

Lol- “here’s your pieces/peaces” (peace-sign fabric) love your content-thanks for all you share!

[@sharongardner9044]

Thank you.

[@danielewrisley328]

I am a visual learner. And I appreciate that you are making tutorials like this. Thank you

[@PinCutSew]

I'm so glad it's helpful for you :)

[@oliviaaltemus3277]

Fun, just made a few! Perfect for Christmas gifts! I’m new to sewing and this was an easy project.

[@christinahayward1887]

That fabric is hilarious! 😂 Archers' salute!

[@ChristyJones-wv5kz]

This was helpful. I got the patten and kept stacking the pieces on top of themselves and it wasn’t lining up. So I watched how you turned them to cut the pieces and that made all the difference!

[@jacquipayne7346]

I've been following you for a while, I'm not sure why it's taken me this long to make one of these! I got a hot coffee today, and almost burned myself because they didn't give me a sleeve. No more, I'm going to make a couple of them! Thank you for another great tutorial!

[@jacquipayne7346]

@pincutsew So, I tried to make this pattern again and success! I had made a comment on IG that I wasn't successful, but I did it! I'm now making about 10 for teachers' gifts! thank you!!!

[@karlak.7862]

Great project. I left one of the small ends open vs. the long bottom side for ease of sewing. plan to make lots more. Thanks for pattern.

[@annavanderbom1583]

I’m going to batch sew These for Christmas❤❤

[@pamstrong8709]

Wonderful and simple project. Great idea for Father's Day gifts at my church. Thanks for the inspiration, and the video tutorial for us visual learners.

[@jenhutson9908]

Ever try insul bright for the interior? I know it wouldn’t have the structure but it could help a little to buffer differing temps.

[@epe746]

Thank you so much Nikki, this is wonderful!

[@Gigimamapa5]

Thanks, it’s a cute little doodad. 🥰

[@MistyRaymond]

Very cute

[@sallynunya6467]

Hi Nikki, I love your videos and my 6-yr old grandson loves watching them with me. We decided to make your coffee sleeves for his mother but the templates only print blank sheets. One link only has the fabric template. The other has both but neither will print. I tested that it is not my printer by trying other sites but it is just yours that I can't print. Hope you can help me out. We also plan to make book sleeves and markers after this. Thanks for the great ideas.

[@PinCutSew]

Hi there! Can you send me an email at [e-mail] so I can help?

[@bethmagill4449]

Just LOVE this!!!!!

[@lauriepayseur5897]

Brilliant! Making these

[@Imasnailysnail]

What size coffee cup is this for please?

[@PinCutSew]

It fits them all up to a Starbucks venti!

[@Imasnailysnail]

@@PinCutSew Thank you 🙂

[@JuanitaBaker-w9e]

Where can I get the pattern

[@HollieParker-c3r]

Can I sew this without a walking foot? Thank you for the video! ❤

[@PinCutSew]

Yes, for sure 👍🏻

[@HollieParker-c3r]

thank you! I’ve purchased several of your patterns and I love them all ❤

[@ashleycoker9381]

The pages to the Amazon links are in Spanish, just fyi. I use an iPhone and was able to click on the three dots on right side of page (in Chrome) and choose Translate so easy to change if needed. Just letting you know:)

[@PinCutSew]

lol that is very strange, I will look into it 😆

[@hudayounis9832]

Love it

[@pescatarianwifelife2751]

Could I put insulbrite in this? My hands still get cold and hot from the fabric ones, I am wondering if I can stick some in there too. Might make it a lot thicker. Im going to try this but increase the pattern an extra half edge on perimeters just to make sure it fits.

[@PinCutSew]

Yeah, I think so! Let me know how it turns out.

[@traceyseymour7700]

Gday from Australia, thanks for awesome vids, just wanna know where did you purchase your tape measure sticky tape please? Xxxx

[@PinCutSew]

Hi! It's Scotch brand, here's a link: amzn.to/3J43tbN

[@ireneclai578]

Nikki are these washable?

[@PinCutSew]

Yes! 🙌🏻

[@marcysikes]

Does the 1/8” topstitching sew through the peltex? So glad I found this video! Thank you!

[@PinCutSew]

Yes it does 👍🏻

[@Marialla.]

This reminds me of cake pan cozies I've seen, that help your cakes bake more evenly and less domed. You soak them in water (and wring out) before putting onto your cake pan and baking as usual. Obviously you'd want to use 100% cotton fabric and batting, never polyester for this.

[@PinCutSew]

Oh interesting, I’ve never seen those before, but what a great idea!

[@pescatarianwifelife2751]

Thank you! I am a home baker and I was looking at these to buy, didn't think to sew them myself! Great idea!

[@dorisherrero8074]

Great project. I’m gonna try to make one, but I would like to know where you purchase the paper tape.

[@PinCutSew]

Do mean my measuring tape masking tape? It’s scotch brand, here’s a link: amzn.to/3v4xdQV

[@samanthad6666]

Can thin foam be uses if I can't get the simplex?

[@PinCutSew]

Sure, or batting, or other interfacing too.

[@magtor21]

Hi there! Thanks for the template and video! SO excited to try this!! Do you think you could you use a couple layers of cut away stabilizer for the inside?🤔

[@PinCutSew]

You could! It won't be as stiff and cardboardy, but it should work fine.

[@evangelinerichardson1109]

Hi Nikki, What a cute little project! I’m taking lessons now and want to try making this! Can you tell me what size/width of Velcro is required? Thanks so much! 😊

[@PinCutSew]

Hi there! The Velcro only comes in 1” widths. Make sure you get the sew in kind! The sticky kind won’t work, it will just gum up under your needle.

[@evangelinerichardson1109]

@@PinCutSewokay thank you!

[@maggieweber2385]

Hi Nikki! I bought the pattern but keep getting confused on whether the smaller (more angled) side should be the side that gets overlapped, or the side that overlaps the other. I hope that question makes sense. I'm not sure if it should go under (get overlapped), or over (overlap the not angled side).

[@PinCutSew]

I usually do the angled side on top, but it doesn’t actually matter, it works either way!

[@epe746]

Hello Nikki, does it have to be peltex? I have a lot of fusible interfacing and a lot of cotton batting, but no peltex.

[@PinCutSew]

You could try it with other materials! I know one person told me they used cotton batting and liked it :)

[@epe746]

@@PinCutSew Great, thanks! Already cut, will be stitching tomorrow!

[@Skittles101487]

I don't understand. I cut literally 45 of these for Christmas gifts, and my pieces don't line up... I'm really upset.. the pattern doesn't say flip it to make a mirror image. Am I stupid or did I just waste tons of fabric?

[@PinCutSew]

I’m so sorry, yes, when you cut any sewing pattern out, you cut two at a time with the fabric folded in half, so it results in 2 mirror images.

[@Skittles101487]

@@PinCutSew I apparently have never done that 😭 is there any way to selvage it?! Most of the ones I cut out are 2 facing the same way

[@PinCutSew]

@@Skittles101487 I would make pairs with what you can and then you can cut new pieces to make the rest! If you're out of fabric, you can buy an inexpensive muslin to back the ones that need pairs still, so the fun fabric is on the front, and the back is plain and that will be just fine. Don't give up on them, it's all a learning experience and we've all made mistakes like this!

[@Skittles101487]

@@PinCutSew that's a great idea, I at least have the outer/front fabric and can use cheap solid stuff for the middle that touches the cup. Thank you!!

[@Skittles101487]

@PinCutSew also, I apologize for the attitude in my comment. You did explain that in the video but I missed it. I was upset but that's not an excuse to have taken it out on you. You're one of my favorite people to watch. 💜

[@merralindagoddard9530]

Thanks for the video. bummer I’m 2 yrs late the pattern is not free anymore.

[@PinCutSew]

The pattern piece is still free! The printable instructions are the paid pdf, but here is just the free pattern piece :) drive.google.com/file/d/1hu1m7cME_y9Tc18fuKkQjrhg5zW2DFzl/view?usp=drivesdk

[@ellenvosburg5420]

What width of velcro do you like to use? I'm also wondering if you think decor-bond could be used instead of peltex? Thanks!

[@PinCutSew]

I use the 1” Velcro. I’ve never heard of decorative-bond, but if you try it, lemme know how it works!

[@ellenvosburg5420]

@@PinCutSew Thanks! Will do. Based on my google searches it's similar to peltex, but maybe not quite as stiff. It feels really stiff to me and I already have it in my stash, so I'm going to try it.

[@sharongardner9044]

You say the pattern is free but it is not (anymore?).

[@PinCutSew]

Hi! The pattern piece is still free, it's the printable pattern with instructions that I sell. But here's the pattern piece: drive.google.com/file/d/1hu1m7cME_y9Tc18fuKkQjrhg5zW2DFzl/view?usp=sharing

[@mrs.mallon1696]

After the main part is sewn, it is quite a bit smaller than the pattern. The fabric is pretty tight to the peltex. Yours looks to be just about the same as the pattern size. What am I doing wrong? I watched several times and am doing what you’re doing! Thanks.

[@PinCutSew]

Make sure you’re printing at 100% scale! And make sure you’re using 1/4” seams.

If this pattern is free, then why are you charging $4.00?

[@PinCutSew]

You can still download the pattern piece for free and use the video to make one. The $4 version is a full printable version of the tutorial with instructions and photos. Totally optional, but my pattern shop is what keeps this entire thing going and I always appreciate the support :)

[@Eric-uq1wn]

Thank you for making this tutorial. The full instructions and pattern are definitely worth $4!

[@dananutt3704]

Definitely worth the $4. Thank you!!!
