Supplies:

I had several shades of denim to choose from and went with a darker one that was more navy.

The final dimensions of the cozy will be 2 ½" tall by 9" wide.

I'm planning on a ¼" seam when I stitch it all together so cut denim into 3" x 9 ½" strips.

You will need two strips of denim per cozy.

For extra padding we're going to add fusible webbing to the denim.

Cut webbing into 2 ½" by 9" strips and iron down as directed onto center of half of the denim strips.

Cut star ribbon into 9 ½" strips.

Lay across top of denim strip and tack down ½" from the top edge.

Attach by sewing along top and bottom edges of ribbon.

Sewing isn't exactly something I am great at.

I do it for a hobby.

So when it came time to attach the mini pom fringe to the denim, sewing was not my friend.

I was having a terrible time keeping a straight line on that little fringe so I came up with a different way to attach it - glue!

I used Zip Dry which is normally used for paper crafts to attach the pom fringe to the denim.

Zip Dry is a liquid adhesive that dries very quickly and is known for not wrinkling paper because it's not super wet.

And, in this case, kept the fabric perfectly flexible.

Cut pom fringe into 9 ½" strips.

Lay navy pom fringe ½" from bottom edge of denim strips and glue down with Zip Dry.

Layer white pom fringe above the navy and glue down.

Finally, layer red fringe on top of white fringe and glue down.

Red fringe should hide bottom edge of the star ribbon.

The solid grosgrain ribbon will be used to tie cozies to the Mason jars.

Cut into 8" strips, 2 per cozy.

Pass ends through a flame to seal them from fraying.

Time to get ready to sew!

Lay out a strip of the denim with the stars and pom fringe face up.

Lay one of the grosgrain strips across the top, allowing ¼" to hang off the edge.

Lay a second strip of grosgrain across the top of the denim, hanging ¼" off the other edge.

Top with a second strip of plain denim, face down.

Pin pieces together for sewing.
