Hi friends....I hope I am not boring you with all the cups and mugs I have been posting lately...I just love these new Crealies dies !

These Coffee /Chocolate and Smoothie sewing cases were made with the same Crealies dies I used to make the
Magnetic Shaker Bookmarks which were surprisingly a huge hit on my facebook account and some people even wanted to buy them!

When making the sewing cases I kept the design pretty simply and resisted over embellishing as these are meant to be everyday use items!
They are pretty easy to make and you can even hand-cut the shapes but of course if you have the right dies it is easier and more fun!

First cut the mugs from thick card-stock and take a piece of Kraft tex[ Here is the link to read more about
Kraft tex] around 3.5 x 2 inches and score 3/4 inch from either side to leave a central 1/2 inch width which will form the spine of your sewing case.

Stick on the 3/4 inch parts of the Kraf tex to the edges of the mug as shown. If you dont have Kraft tex ,use felt / leather or any sturdy material.

Line the mugs and domes with felt. Make pockets for scissors using felt and an optional folded piece of Kraft tex.

While sticking keep a scissors inside the pocket to ensure you dont stick on the pocket too flat or tight.

If your button has a bulky back...poke a hole in the felt piece and push the button inside it before you stick it to your cover.

The elastic loop will loop around a brad/ button attached to a piece of felt on the back part of the cover.

No Sew Tip : On the back side you can sew on a button or if you use a brad you can avoid sewing altogether !Just poke a hole on a piece of felt, insert your brad and stick the felt on the base....easy!
