You'll need a cardboard cozy from a local coffee shop to use as a template, a small piece of fabric, lining fabric, batting, 4 inches of thin elastic and a button.
Trace around your template onto your feature fabric and lining fabric. Cut out 1/4 inch bigger than the template for seam allowance. Lay one of these on top of the batting and cut around it.
Place the batting on the bottom, then the lining fabric, wrong side facing the batting, then the feature fabric on top, right side down. Remember to place your piece of elastic at the straight small end of your cozy, between the lining and the feature fabric. Fold it and place the raw ends on the raw edge of the fabrics, as shown in this picture.
Pin all of the layers in place and stitch around the edge, with a 1/4 inch seam allowance. Leave 2 inches on one of the long sides, so that you can turn it all right side out. Clip the curves for easy turning. 
Turn it right side out and press.
Top stitch 1/8 in from the edge. Audition the placement of your button, based on how long your elastic is. If I did this again I'd probably make my elastic a bit shorter, and place the button closer to the closure of the cozy wrap, just because I think it would look better. Sew your button in place with a double strand of thread for durability.
Try the cozy on your cup and admire your work! Please let me know if any points are unclear.
That means nine more to go. I don't think I'm going to make it in time for Christmas. Oh well, there is always his birthday :). The 26 finished blocks seem like quite a stack to me at this point, having sewn on sashing two nights in a row. I like the negative space, but boy have I used a ton of Kona white!
A coffee cup cozy for a friend. Great gift for anyone who drinks hot coffee or tea in disposable cups. They get hot! This fabric cozy keeps hands warm, not burned. I can easily do a little tutorial if anyone is interested in the pattern I came up with.
Here are a couple of projects I've whipped up for my little guys. I've been meaning to make these snack sacks for a while. The tutorial is simple and these are really quick to make. Who doesn't need reusable sacks too? I'm hoping they will be quieter than ziplocks (rustle, rustle) for church-time cheerios, etc.
This color book for toddlers also comes from a great tutorial. Actually reading and following the tutorial would be a good idea. You'll probably get better results than I did :).
Here's what a couple of the pages look like.
Fun, fun, fun :).
The light isn't the best on this drizzly day, but I only had a few minutes to take a picture before this got packaged up and sent off to its Christmas recipient. It is a lap sized quilt. I found a vibrant paisley for the binding, and the quilting is done in a random wave pattern which was super fun to do. It has a free motion feeling, but I didn't have to use the free motion foot (which is still a big challenge for me).
