Tools and materials:
- Free coffee cup holder sewing pattern
- Outer layer fabric 1 piece 11⅛″ × 3¾″ and 1 piece for the strap 1⅝″ × 20″
- Lining fabric 1 piece 11⅛″ × 3¾″
- Fusible interfacing

1. Make the pattern
Download the free pattern and print it. Cut the fabric and fusible interfacing to match the pattern.
2. Iron the interfacing
Iron the fusible interfacing to the wrong side of the exterior fabric.
3. Sew the fabric
Place the two fabrics right sides together.
Clip and cut leaving a ⅜-inch seam allowance,
4. Sew the strap
Fold the long strip of fabric into thirds and then in half. Clip into place. Sew the strap on both sides as close to the edge as possible.
5. Attach the strap
Mark the fabric for strap placement.
Clip the strap into place on the marked areas. Sew horizontal stitches to secure the strap in a loop in place.
6. Sew the coffee sleeve
Place the lining on top of the fabric with the straps so their right sides are together. Tuck the straps inside and pull them through to the other side. Sew the lining to the exterior fabric with a ⅜-inch seam allowance.
Snip the seam allowance.
Open the seams with your fingers and make sure to flatten them as much as possible. Then fold the coffee cup holder pattern in half right sides together. Clip in place. Sew at ⅜ inch.
Iron all the seams as flat as possible.
Tuck the strap inside. Pinch the lining up to the exterior piece and pin it in the center. Make sure to keep the straps tucked in and be careful not to sew them to the body.
Sew across the two layers around the edge, leaving a 1½-inch opening unsewn.
Flip the coffee sleeve inside out. Iron the entire piece. Blind stitch the small opening closed.
Then topstitch both the top and bottom.

I imagine I could use this idea for my stainless steel water glass too, thank you! I like going 'hands-free' and this will help. Blessings!
