✂️ INSTRUCTIONS:
You can use the same fabric for both sides of the reversible coffee cup sleeve or two different pieces of fabric. I recommend using quilting cotton fabric.
1. Fuse interfacing to two pieces of fabric back.
2. Cut two patterns out of the two pieces of fabric.
3. Take one of the pieces of fabric and fold right side together, so that the short ends line up. Pin or clip to hold in place. Machine stitch 3/8" seam.
4. Repeat with the other piece of fabric.
5. Turn one of the sewn pieces right side out. Fold fabric in half and mark the center (opposite the seam). Insert the sleeve into the other sleeve. Line up the center mark with the seam of the outer sleeve. This will keep your seems on opposite sides, reducing the bulk.
6. Pin the top of the sleeves together. Make sure you have right sides together. Then stitch using a 3/8" seam.
7. Open up the sleeve so both sections are right side out. Folder under the short edges 3/8" and pin in place. Use your iron to press folds. Once pressed, you can remove the pins.
8. Turn one of the fabric pieces to the inside so that wrong sides are together. Finger press the side seams flat. Line up the bottom folded edges and pin or clip together. Top stitch 1/8" from the edge. This will secure the two fabrics together and close the opening.
9. Top stitch 1/8" from edge along the top of the sleeve.
10. Press to finish your coffee cup sleeve.

[@bonnieriffle9352]

Perfect tutorial! I want to make some of these!! Thank you!

[@TheBirchCottage]

Bonnie, you are so welcome! I love making these. I’m also gonna make a pattern for a Starbucks Frappuccino bottle. I like to save them and reuse as individual bottles of tea and lemonade.

[@pamelaleitman9305]

Great video efficient and great tips! I was worried about how you stitch around a circle that small but I see it’s not so hard!

[@TheBirchCottage]

Glad it was helpful! Thank you!!

[@ameliathompson3751]

Fabric glue could be used inside the fold at the bottom. Hot iron will help glue to dry.

[@TheBirchCottage]

Amelia, that’s a great idea! You can also use fabric tape!

[@ameliathompson3751]

Fabric tape use is at the bottom of my list for adhering seam allowance. White glue and hot iron is my go to aid.

[@TheBirchCottage]

@@ameliathompson3751 I totally agree. Thanks for sharing!!

How to make a pattern for any cup would be helpful

[@TheBirchCottage]

Marie, you could watch this video on How to Make a Pattern for a Coffee Cup Sleeve: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kKXWmaqEmrCterc

[@marilynbaulch2663]

I love this idea but you don't give measurements for template. Do we just figure it out by wrapping paper around a cup?

[@TheBirchCottage]

The idea is that you can make a sleeve for any size cup. You can measure your cup, but I found the easiest thing to do is to wrap the paper around the cup. You'll be creating your pattern and obtaining your measurements all in one step.

[@marilynbaulch2663]

@@TheBirchCottage Thank you. I've been making bowl cosies and will make a few with the leftover scraps of fabric. I wonder how they would go as fancy stubby holders for the ladies? Lol

[@TheBirchCottage]

@@marilynbaulch2663 I bet they would love them!

[@loridavenport7131]

Is there a template?

[@TheBirchCottage]

I don’t have a template you can download, but I do show you how to create your own. Here’s the video tutorial: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kKXWmaqEmrCterc and here’s the written tutorial: www.thebirchcottage.com/custom-coffee-cup-sleeve/. Hope this helps!

I don't have a pattern, but rather provide a tutorial on how to create your own pattern. Here's a link to the video tutorial: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kKXWmaqEmrCtercsi=ZqLonXxLqepfY464

[@barbaraallen4052]

link to pattern isnt working, where can I get pattern to print out so I can use? Thanks much.

[@TheBirchCottage]

Hi, Barbara. There isn’t a pattern to print out. But you can find instructions on how to make your own pattern here: www.thebirchcottage.com/custom-coffee-cup-sleeve/ And you will find the video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kKXWmaqEmrCterc

[@jonineely2093]

how can i get the pattern that you are using for the cut out?

[@TheBirchCottage]

Hi, Joni! Although I haven’t created a printable pattern to share, I did create a video that shows you how to create your very own pattern. You can watch it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kKXWmaqEmrCterc And please don’t hesitate to let me know if you have any questions!

[@jonineely2093]

Hi there I found you on etsy and bought it. Thank you so much for everything and for responding to my message, I don't sew so this is my first time wish me luck. So thanks again Joni

[@reynoldsje]

What kind of batting did you use?

[@TheBirchCottage]

Hi, Jennie. I used fusible fleece for the batting/interfacing.

[@lorwin6884]

Do you add bottoms and if so how to?

[@TheBirchCottage]

No, there is not a bottom to the sleeve.

[@byankaaispuro5260]

Do you have any suggestions for placement of a branding tag/label?

[@TheBirchCottage]

You could add a tag or label in any of the seams. Or sew a label directly onto the front of the sleeve. Maybe place it about 1/2" from the raw bottom edge. That would keep the label away from the seam and the top stitching. Hope this helps!

[@cathiewilliams2904]

How do I get the pattern?

[@TheBirchCottage]

Hi, Cathie! I don’t have a pattern, rather I show you how to create your own pattern here: www.thebirchcottage.com/custom-coffee-cup-sleeve/.

[@chilledlemondrop5613]

How did you measure to make the pattern?

[@TheBirchCottage]

I have a video tutorial that shows you how to do exactly that. You'll find it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kKXWmaqEmrCterc

[@Pip7-px3wq]

Really unsafe cutting technique. Don’t do it this way beginners. The idea for the cozy is good though

[@TheBirchCottage]

Thanks for pointing out how important safety is. You really don’t want to ever cut towards your hand. I admit it was a little awkward as I was working around camera equipment. Thanks, again!
