Instructions
Find the length by measuring the distance around the mug.
Add an extra 1/2" for a seam allowance.
Measure the sides to the height you'd like.
Add an extra 1/2" for the seam as well.
Once you have the template created, cut out one piece of batting and two pieces of fabric.
With right sides together, sew a 1/4" seam all around the edges, leaving a couple of inches open on one side.
Turn the mug cozy right side out.
Turn under the edges of the fabric on the open side.
Place a piece of elastic cording about 2.5" long in the middle of the open end.
Sew a nice 1/4" topstitch around all four sides.
Give it a few back stitches to make sure it's sewn in well.
Hand sew a large button on the opposite side to complete the enclosure.
