Here are some examples of my latest project. Little quilted coffee cozies!
Cozy and quilted, with binding and vintage button closures.
I'm making lots of these sweet cozies for gifts, a couple of craft shows, and maybe for Etsy.... if I can find the time to finally open an Etsy store that is. I've got lots more color combo's just waiting to be stitched. Now back to the sewing machine for me! x
Do you have a pattern for these? Could you tell me where to buy it? I am in charge of our quilt guild boutique in October 2009, and I've been looking for something different that the members could make and sell. Thanks! Joyce

Really fun and the fabrics and sewing/quilting is perfection. Everything you make turns out so well. Great gift.

Those are as cute as can be.....I love them. I may have to try to make one too.
Strangely enough my husband doesn't want one? Silly man.

Hi Sarah,
although I haven´t such a cup for the coffee I love these cup-coats! Yes, sell them on Etsy, that will be a great success!!! The fabrics you chose are so pretty. What a wonderful idea!
Have a nice day,

Genius with the button and elastic! They're wonderful. and so important I think for lessening cardboard waste. Great job!

If I drank hot stuff I'd be making one of these for myself - now we know what the strips were for...

What fun things. I do like some people's uncomprmising attitude to their surroundings in that they refuse to be surrounded by ugliness and WILL make the most mundane object beautiful. I think you have made the humble coffee cup into a work of art. Well done- superbly beautiful sewing and a joy to look at. :-)

Wow...Sarah, this is a wonderfully unique little idea. You are awesome. I think you would have a lovely and very successful Etsy shop. Jump on board, girl!!

How wonderful are those???!!!!
Posted by: Cheryl | November 15, 2008 at 03:45 PM
I love how these look. Even better, I love that they have the potential to eliminate one more piece of waste. Coffee houses seriously stress me out when I see all of the paper waste!
Your cozies make the coffee experience seem so much more wonderful. They're too cute!
Posted by: Katie | November 17, 2008 at 08:10 AM
Oh Sarah, how cute are those! I really think you should put together a pattern book with all the wonderful things you have created. I would buy one and even some for gifts. Love to all.
