DIY Wednesday: Cosby Coffee Cozy!!

Happy Wednesday folks!
I hope the middle of your week is splendid. I'm off to a hump day brunch in a bit, but would love to share with you a quick DIY project that can be done in 5 minutes. Yes, that's right, 5 minutes!



I've recently rekindled my love for Cosby sweaters, especially in chilly San Francisco, and thought it'd be fun to think of new ways of reusing one. I first off I decided to create a circle scarf. The idea came from my friend Monica, who learned how to make them from Kelly Malone of Workshop and IndieMart

After I made the scarf, I decided to play with the rest of the material and came up with a quick and easy coffee cup cozy.

Step One: Measure out the shape with a paper coffee cup sleeve

Step Two: Cut the material with the seam intact on one side (this requires less stitching).

Step Three: Sew the other edge together with the material inside out. 

Step Four: Flip right-side out and enjoy!

P.S. Here's a fun Cosby sweater Tumblr to keep you inspired. = )
