Cup Sleeve

Tutorials for Cup Sleeves are all over the internet and it is easy to see why: they are so quick and easy to make and can be adapted to any taste and style. I really liked the different options in Kinda Crafty´s tutorial:

To make my own sleeve I decided to go an even easier route: I made the back of the sleeve out of a thick fleece I had left over from another project and so did not need any batting.

Because I wanted to finish the sleeve with a snap fastener, I made the the sides a little longer to have enough overlap.
To make the seams less bulky I cut back the fleece except where I left the opening for turning, and the topstitched around the whole sleeve.


Total time for this project: less than 30 minutes, which makes me think that this little craft will find its way into the stockings of all the coffee lovers in my life!
