I made a coffee corset cozy! I took the scraps of my previous project (magnet and cork board covers) and a template I found online (you can also use a Starbucks paper one). You can even use a fat quarter if you don't have any scraps. You will also need some sort of batting or backing to stiffen the fabric.
1. Using the coffee cozy template cut 3 pieces 1 out of the batting 2 out of the fabric of your choice
2. Pin all three layers together: batting on the bottom, outside fabric in the middle right side up, and fabric lining on the top with the right side down.
3. Sew all the way around leaving a 1/2 inch seam allowance and an opening for turning.
4. Trim seams to a 1/4" except at opening.
5. for the corset look trim ends about an 1 1/2" from each side sew the ends together
6. turn the right side out and sew the whole closed by doing top stitching all the way around.
7. get some ribbon and lace like a shoe with the bow at the top.
here is a template for this:
