New hexagon coffee cup sleeve

10 Replies

I have just finished another coffee cup sleeve. I love using the hexagons and the felt backing to make these cute little projects. The whole project is about 2 hours so it is nice and quick and most of it can be done in front of the TV. Just the project I need at the moment.

This one has a cute flower button I found in my button stash:IMG_7219

A couple more views of the sleeve….IMG_7217 IMG_7218

This sleeve will be appearing on my Etsy store soon.  I am linking up with Janice @ Better off thread for Sew Cute Tuesday.
