Heart on my sleeve

A fun coffee cup sleeve for Valentines day. It put a smile on my Valentine’s face 🙂 Its a very simple design but works so well on some red fleece reclaimed from an old hat.

That centre seam you can see was one side of the hat hence the fabric was a bit curved so it was tricky to work with in the hoop, actually impossible to hoop at all. And it was the only red fleece I had to work with.

Hooping a cutaway stabiliser worked really well with the fleece fabric spray-glued and pinned to the stabiliser for extra holding. The curve actually worked nicely on the sleeve, it fits the cup nice ‘n snug.
