Mug Wrapper for craft supplies

 This is a little thing I sewed up for our gift exchange for the holidays with my Stamp N Chat friends. The criteria was that it had to be under $10 - I think and handmade.

I have been  hoarding this fabric bundle from Stampin' Up when they used to have fabric eons ago. It is sew cute! I still have a few packets of this and the christmas fabric that they used to have- good quality for quilting and I made several fabric shopping bags with pockets inside for going to the farmer's market. 

I took a really large mug that had a funny sentiment on it and measured the diameter using a tape and came up with this design. there are a lot of templates but you may have to tweak it a little depending on the size of the mug.  i have one on my desk that holds all my everyday tools which I LOVE so hoped this would be useful to one of my friends.  the image below is the outside and inside of the piece with all the pockets for all your tools. 

I took the piece that has the zigzag picture on it and the back piece which is 1 1/2 times the base piece  (because it folds up to make the inside pockets and put a batting between the 2.

I took a piece about twice as long as the width - for the button piece because you have to fold it to make the pockets for the outside. I sewed the red check on top of the folded orangish piece edge then sewed it on to the base every one and a half inches or so to create the inside pockets.

the button fabric is twice the height because it is folded over to double side it the pleated and sew every 1 1/2 inches or so to create the outside pockets.

I then make a binding out of the red checker fabric and sewed it all around the edge to create a cute binding.  this is the inside of the mug .

this is the back of the piece with velcro attached so that I can loop it through the handle of the mug to help this stay in place.
