Starbucks Sleeves

I was perplexed as to what to give my baby shower hostesses last weekend.  They are all friends from work and they all enjoy reading and food.  ;o)  I wanted to get them something personalized or make them something but I couldn't figure out what.  Also, I ran out of energy and time (it is such a busy time of year) that I lost my inspiration.  The night before the shower, Mom suggested a homemade Starbucks sleeve to go with the Starbucks gift cards I got them.  I jumped at the opportunity to make something to go with the impersonal gift cards.

Mom drew out the pattern for me and I quickly cut out the three materials and lining and got busy.  I sewed each one which I was pretty proud of because I tend to let Mom do the hard parts.  They were not perfect by any means but we like to say that the imperfections add character.  ;o)

Here are the three sleeves we whipped up that night.



I even had some ladies at the shower request that I make them sleeves.  We'll see if I can't make that happen before school ends. - Leah
