I had the idea earlier in the months that this years Christmas baskets I am going to give cups with handmade cup cozies, ice cube tray and some nuts and mints. That will go along with the cookie trays that daughter and I always do. I found some nice cup that were on sale and so I started looking for a pattern for the cup cozies, did a Bing search and found a great easy pattern. So then all I had to do was figure our what to stitch on the cozy so that it is individual to each person that will be getting a cup. The pattern book that was sent to me from a forum member had a very cute little car in it and so I did that one and also I created a pattern from a picture I found online. One of my friends just love the smell of skunks
(don't ask me why) so I found a cute little skunk and made a pattern. Both of those charts took just one day of stitching so I have them both done and today being Saturday I decided to see if I could make up the cozies. They are super easy to do and come out great
These are the cozies on the cups. The one with the car is a bit small so I modified the pattern and made the next one bigger and I am much happier with that one.
This is the car one opened up
And this is the backside of that one.
The I decided that there was no need for the velcro I could just sew the cozy shut and it would work just fine so I did that on the second one.
These are really fun to do and they do have batting in the middle so should worl really well.
