When you open up the pdf instructions included in this design it first goes through the supplies and fabric measurements that you need for this design. Included in the purchase of this sleeve is 2 blank sleeves, one has the trendy applique circle that you can add a different initial to and one that is blank. (Handy if you want to do lots up in advance for craft shows). For this design i used cotton material, a thin cotton batting and 1/4" elastic.
The steps that follow are really easy to understand and perform. I had no problems with any of the steps and liked that they included little measurements on the pictures so i didn't have to guess how far anything had to be placed. If you notice in my picture, I didn't trim close enough with the circle applique so make sure you don't forget to trim closely and carefully all around before doing the satin stitch.
Once you have completed the coffee sleeve you turn it once and give it an iron (Don't skip this step!!!) It will mean that you get a nicer crisper edge when you turn it through again. You do not have to stitch closed the opening where you have turned it as after the second turn it is hidden nicely. You do however just need to sew on a button to finish it off. I put my coffee sleeve on a normal coffee mug that I had at home and it fit perfectly!
