Molly's Sketchbook: Felt Coffee Cozies

Okay, I know it’s not even Thanksgiving yet, but I’m already starting to feel some holiday cheer! The first sign was feeling tempted by the eggnog that suddenly appeared in the dairy case of my supermarket. Next, I realized that I was spending inordinate time wondering where I should place my Christmas tree. And finally, I started getting the sense that my Purl Bee co-workers weren’t exactly feeling my urgency to decide what kind of cookies we’re going to bake this year. So instead of just dreaming about sugarplums, I have decided to harness my early seasonal excitement by getting a head start on my holiday gifts!

These Felt Coffee Cozies are the perfect way to jumpstart your holiday crafting because they’re a total snap, even if you’ve never sewed before. And with just one bundle of 100% Wool Felt you’ll be able to make a whopping sixteen Cozies! I used the cheerful Fuchsia Bundle, but we have lots more to suit your holiday mood!

A pile of Coffee Cozies is a fabulous thing to have around during the holiday season. Give them as hostess gifts, teachers’ presents (along with a gift card to a favorite café, perhaps?), or stocking stuffers. You might even give one to yourself! 

If you’d like to make a set of your own please visit my Felt Coffee Cozies Journal here. And happy holidays… a little early!—Molly

Hi! The link to the tutorial is broken!

Hi - I'm back! I tried Pinning a picture of the cozies but It wouldn't work. I tried the pin icon on your page and from the Pin It command I set up on my toolbar in IE.

Hi Tina-

The link seems to be working OK from this end. Can you try again and let us know if you're still having a problem getting to it? Thank you!

Hi! It works from my work computer and from my iPhone. I think I might need to upgrade my IE at home. I'll try it tonight. Sorry for the inconvenience! The tutorial is great!
