I regret to inform you that the person scheduled for Day 10 could not make it due to unforeseen family circumstances. Guess you’re stuck with me today. But don’t forget to visit the first 9 days, starting here. Love my new sign? I think Todd Wilken may need it for the studio.
I followed the tutorial pretty closely but found out too late that not all coffee mugs are made alike—so make sure that the template you use {I used a Starbucks coffee cozy} fits your mug–making sure to allow for the seams. For my travel mug, I should have made mine 1 1/4 inches longer than this Starbucks template. Just put your template around your mug and make sure it fits and if not, adjust—making sure to make allowances for both end seams.
Trace the template onto the wrong side of the fabric {right sides of fabric together} allowing for the seams. {I left about 1/4 inch for the seams on all sides—and as you’ll see later, I should have lengthened my cozy by 1 1/4 inch—-so make sure it’s long enough by wrapping the template around your mug}
