DIY Halloween Mug Cozy

This is the end of the year! Holidays are in the air. Let us prepare for the holidays: Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year! YAY! Last year I made a tutorial of Thanksgiving greeting card in kurumie style, this year I make for Halloween: mug cozy!

This mug cozy will decorate your table with cute Halloween theme. It is easy to make, especially if you can sew. You can buy the pattern at my pattern shop. And here is how to make it:

1. Print the patterns, then cut.

2. Prepare the fabrics. I use five different colors of fabrics.

3. Cut out the fabrics according to the pattern, add 0.5 cm seam for the sewing. The pattern doesn’t include the seams.

4. Hand sews the applique of Jack O 'Lantern’s face (eyes, nose, and mouth) to the base fabric according to the pattern. Then prepare the batting.

5. Draw a quilting pattern on the quilt top (the one with Jack’s face). I use an oval shape jar lid to make it easier to copy the curved pumpkin pattern.

6. Basting all three layers: quilt top, batting, and backing. Then start quilting on eyes, nose, mouth, pumpkin lines, and make quilting also for pumpkin tendrils. If you can’t draw the tendrils by yourself, I also provide the quilt pattern in pdf file.

7. Sew the leaf and the stem as the pictures. Attach the leaf at the quilt top.

8. Prepare a 72 cm long bias tape for bindings. Cut four ribbons to tie the cozy mug to the mug. Sew the binding and ribbons as the picture. Then sew the stem at the back of cozy mug as you can see in the picture.

Cozy Mug ready to decorate your table.
