Oh, no I'm not, Deb! lol I found a pattern online and used it, it's not my idea at all! I do wish I'd thought of it, though, because it's so simple to make and really quite useful. I just got back from a road trip that entailed lots of drinks and mine worked great on hot and cold drinks, and kept condensation down to a minimum, too. Thanks for thinking I'm more clever than I am, though. ;)

If anyone wants the pattern, I can post a link for you after I find it again. Or just take one of the cardboard ones and trace it off, layer your two fabrics and batting together, lay out 2 hair elastics, stitch, turn, press, topstitch and sew on 2 buttons. Or use velcro. I like the button/elastic best, though, as it doesn't get that bulk that velcro would have.

I like the Fat bottomed girls one the best. I can relate!

Other than that, they are all really nice.

I like the big bottom girls one. They are all cute,however.

Those are cute! I would use it every day. Sign me up! Even when I make it at home, I take it w/me in a paper cup (way too many lost travel cups, I leave them everywhere I go).

My choices are:
W, E, N

Thank you for the offer, even if I don't win. ;o)

Clever, clever, and so practical.

N

Oh I think you are smart!!!

I have trouble using a sewing machine...takes me a while to sew anything. I love to quilt but do it all by hand.
I'd love to have the pattern!!! Anyone that can sew is very talented in my book!

Deb

I was looking for pirate stuff today and saw one of those on Etsy! Cute idea.. and practical too!

My choices are W and E. The S one hits a little too close to home! lol

Good job Flamey and boy are those cute, since I never win at these things, could you post the pattern link please ;o) and you won't have to put my name in the hat.....TIA

What a great idea, I'm always complaining that those cups are too darned hot!
I love the fat-bottomed ladies fabric but would be a very happy camper to get any one of those so please put my name in the hat Pinky.

pssst .... is Woody open to a little friendly bribery and corruption?? huh??

How neat!Guess it pays to be without power for awhile. E W S N

Cute, Flamey. I think you need to sell them on Ebay!

Here's the link to the pattern/tute.

Since I don't want bad karma, I won't be selling these on Etsy. I am thinking of a different way to make them, though, so you never know what might develop. For now, I'm happy to make them as little gifties.

Thanks for signing up, ladies! I'll probably have Woody do the drawing either tonight, late or tomorrow morning.

Phyllis

I love them!!! S E W N
Since my chemo I am very sensitive to the cold and always wrap a paper towel around my cold drinks.

Oh, and no- Woody cannot be bought, Kiwi! Nice try, though!

Well, on second thought- tears usually work on him. NOT that I would ever exploit that, mind you! About the only time I ever cry is during Lassie movies or something like that, and all I want is for her to get home. rofl Good thing you're WAAAAAY over there sweltering in the heat and not here to work your feminine wiles on him, Deb.

I'll improve the odds for others by not playing because I don't get take-out drinks, but I wanted to say you did a fabulous job. They're gorgeous!!

PS: At work we're only allowed to use spill-proof cups they supply.

Is it too late to get my name in the hat?

I like N, E, W, S

Wow, are you ever kind and generous! They are "green" too because then you don't have to take a cardboard sleeve.

I'd be thrilled to have any, but I like them in this order:

1. N
2. E
3. W
4. S

Love love love them! You are always so creative!

1: S
2: E
3: N
4: W

Keeping my fingers crossed!

mememememememe!

Too cute flamey!
I love the big butt fabric.

LOL

Lori

I'm not entering the drawing, because I am one of the very happy winners of your cell phone purse. I just LOVE that and it is usually the only purse I carry. Everything I need (except tissues) fits in there. I get comments on it all the time.

I just wanted to tell you that I think you cozies are beautiful and I may try to make one myself. I always love your fabrics.
LOL "Fruit Bottom" LOL I didn't even notice that they were fruit until you mentioned it. I guess it sounds better then Fat Bottom.

I buy coffee at 7-11. They have cardboard holders (for free)that slip over the paper cups. Yours are much cuter. As I said before, I like the big-bottom ladies!

I like the big butt women's one. Where did you find such material?
Really cute idea!
Clare

WOW...I always burn my hand on my take out coffee. You are one smart lady!!! These are sooooooo adorable!
My choices:
1-E
2-N
3-W
4-S
Thanks for the opportunity~
Barbara

How cute are they. You pick out the best material to use Flamey, always so colourful.

I always ask for an extra cup to hold the hot one. Not too good for the environment is it?

Anne

I seldom purchase hot liquids to go, so I won't throw my name in the hat, but I do want to tell you that I think these are absolutely darling. It is very generous of you to share your work!

I almost missed this! I'll put my name in and hope for the best! They are so cute Flamey.

Thank you for doing this!

Danielle

Ok, the letters spell out sewn...how funny is that?

I would love to have one and I am choosing the one with the ladies (w) but any of them would do just fine.
They are the cutest items I have ever seen.
Thanks for letting me to get a chance for one.
Deb

I put the wrong letter :-(
S Please :-)
S S S S
PLEASE!
Deb

Wow, those fruit ladies are popular. I also refer to them as "fruity patooties". lol

Clare, the fabric is by Elizabeth's Studio, if you look here you might find some you like. I am using the striped one. I found it in Branson, MO, at a quilt shop last year. If that link doesn't work, just search under "fruit ladies" and you'll find it. And Ebay is always an option.

Thanks, girls, you're all very sweet.

Here is a link that might be useful: Look here for the fabric....

Just adorable as always, I so enjoy seeing what you are up to! If I'm not too late to the party, please throw my name in the hat, Flamingo.

1- W
2- E
3- N
4- S

And Kiwi, I am shocked that you would try to bribe the "judge." Certainly the charming, handsome, wonderful, debonair Woodie is much too intelligent to fall for such tactics!

Count me in for a chance to get one...I love them all!

Carol

E
W N
S Those are sooooo cute Flamey.

Great idea, Mingo. I'll keep my name out of the hat (even tho I really like the tea cups) and make my own. I'll let the others have a better chance!

Tami

OK, the drawing is closed. I just found out I have to work tomorrow, so I needed to do this now.

Congrats to the lucky winners.

The winners are-

Janie GA - N
Grinchgut - S
Declansmom - E
CzechChick - any, so you get W

I'll try to get these out in the mail on Thursday, if you'll all send me your mailing address. Please send it to
pinkfeffers at yahoo dot com

Thanks for playing along! Sorry to those who didn't win, though. I wish I could make one for everyone, but I just can't.

HEY!!!!!!

Just kiddin' ya Bird. I am going to find that fabric though and find SOMETHING to make out of it for my "Cheeseburger In Paradise Room".

These are so neat could be cute for holidays in holiday fabric too.

Congratulations ladies!
It was so neat to see these Flamey, thanks for letting us all play!

Oh, thank you Flamingo, emailing you now!

Oh, goodie, goodie, goodie! I will have a fun warmer for my hot chocolate and make everyone in class wonder where I got it. :-)

Thrilled to be a winner! My address sent via e-mail to you.

Carol

OH MY GOSH!! I truly believe this is the frist thing I have ever won!! I can't believe it!! whooo hoooooo......Stacy

Congratulations to the winners!

Thank you for posting the link to the tutorial. These are so cute and functional!!
I wish there were someplace here in TX that offered hot tea to go!! So, will have to reserve any I might sew for coffee.:)

Do I need a life or what?
When I read my name as a winner, I was screeching and smiling from ear to ear. I have NEVER won one single thing in my entire life.
You made my day!

Congratulations to the winners! Thanks for posting the link Flamey.

Oh, you guys are so welcome! I hope the winners enjoy their cozies and that some others have fun making their own, for themselves or for gifts.

I'll get these four in the mail tomorrow, promise! Thanks for emailing me your addys, ladies.

Where did you find such cute fabric? There is nothing good around here. Would you mind sharing your pattern? Thanks

Joann, sorry I didn't see this! I got the fabric online, it's by Elizabeth's Studio. Look on Ebay, too. "fabric fruit ladies" usually brings it up. The pattern/tutorial is posted above, about 1/3 of the way down.

Local quilt shops are fun, too, they usually have a novelty fabric section. I like those best.
