Pumpkin Spice Fabric Coffee Cup Wraps

What could be better for Pumpkin Spice week than themed coffee cup wraps? I'm more of a chai tea or cider girl myself, but these wraps are cute and cozy enough for any warm fall drink. I used the Hello Fall collection by Jessica Flick for Benartex Fabrics, and I am in love with the fun autumn prints in this line! I chose a few to use on their own, and then made a pieced version as well, combining some of my favorite smaller prints. A layer of Fusible Fleece protects your hands from heat and creates a comfortable grip for your cup. And don't forget a little Velcro to help your wrap hug the cup! You'll Need (to make one wrap): (2) 6" x 13" pieces (for wrap front and back) (1) 6" x 13" piece HeatnBond Fusible Fleece 2" of 1"-wide velcro Download the wrap template here.

How to Make the Fabric Coffee Cup Wrap

Step 1 Cut out the wrap template. Fold the 6" x 13" Fusible Fleece piece in half and position the template on the folded edge as indicated. Pin in place. Cut out the template shape from the Fleece. Step 2 Position the fleece sleeve shape on the wrong side of the front 6" x 13" fabric piece. Note: If you're trying to center a design (like my Hello Fall wrap), use a lightbox or a window to check the placement of the fleece on the fabric. You can also use pins to mark placement. Step 3 Fuse the Fleece to the fabric, pressing from the fabric side. Step 4 Quilt the fabric/fleece unit as desired, extending the quilting lines about 1/4" past the fleece. Note: I quilted vertical lines, approximately 1/4" to 1/2" apart. Layer the quilted front right sides together on the 6" x 13" back piece and pin in place. Step 5 Stitch along the outer edge of the fleece all the way around, leaving an opening along one short edge. Trim seam allowance to 1/4" past the fleece edge. Tip: Leave a 3/8" seam allowance along the opening - it'll be easier to sew it closed in the next step. Step 6 Turn wrap right side out, poking out corners and sides as needed with a turning tool. Press the wrap, and then press the raw edges of the opening in. Topstitch around the entire wrap, closing up the opening along the short edge. Step 7 Separate the velcro pieces. Sew one to the back side of the wrap and one to the opposite front side. Stitch around all sides of the velcro to secure. Enjoy! ************************************************************************************** Pieced Wrap Option To make a pieced wrap, you'll need: 2" x 12" strips of 6-7 fabrics, (1) 6" x 13" piece for backing (1) 6" x 13" muslin piece Watch the video below for a tutorial on how to piece the wrap front; follow steps 4-7 to finish the wrap.
