As I mentioned above, you don’t cut both pieces of your fabric with the pattern oriented the same way or they won’t line up when placed right-sides together for sewing. Although this is reversible, technically, for the purpose of example, the black fabric is the lining. I cut that piece and the Insul-Bright out with the pattern piece facing up (words up) and I cut the red piece with the pattern piece facing down (words down) so that they are opposites.

You want the silver side of your Insul-Bright to face the lining piece, although since this is reversible, it doesn’t particularly matter. |

My hair tie is one of those small, skinny ones that doesn’t even hold my hair and I can’t figure out why I have it. It had a metal piece that I cut out so I wouldn’t risk hitting it with my needle. I lined up my cut ends and stitched as shown in the photo. The Insul-Bright/batting is underneath. |

Lay your other piece face-down on the first piece. |

Stitch a 1/4″ seam allowance, leaving a hole to turn it around. Cut the corners off. I also found it helped to trim the Insul-Bright out of the seam allowances. |

Turn right side out and push the corners out. Press. |
[15] |
Turn in the seam allowance of the hole and pin. |
[16] |
Top stitch 1/8″ away from edge. You’ll close that hole when you do this. |

Mark a spot about 2-3/4″ from the end that doesn’t have the elastic tie and sew your buttons there. You can sew one on each side if you want it to be reversible.Place on your cup to protect your dainty hand from the heat and go get caffeinated. |
