All Buttoned Up - Project Quilting Final Challenge

 Button, button, who has got the button?  Is there a seamstress among us who hasn't got a tin or jar full of random buttons, ready to be used for any purpose?  I surely do have plenty of buttons, so I was ready for this challenge!  Now, the question is what shall I make that includes a button?

I chose to make a coffee cozy for work.  We often go down to the coffee shop at the end of the block by the quilt shop and every time I say that I should make a nice cozy, but do I ever remember at home?  No.

I have a little decorative jar of green and white buttons, so I checked that one out first and found the perfect buttons for my project.  The ones I chose have a curved bottom with a bit of a shank built in, perfect for my elastic to sit under yet not be too bulky!

I changed from the 1/4 inch elastic to a 1/8 inch.  This goes between the top and bottom layers of fabric.

The next step is to sew the buttons onto the front of the cozy.  I measured where I wanted the buttons to be first so it would fit well.

And voila, a finished cup cozy!  I'll pop this in my purse to have next time I visit the coffee shop and be able to hold my cup more comfortably!

Linking up for the final challenge!
