Cozy Construction and Care

Protect your Kindles, Ipads, Scrap-booking (Cricut, Silhouette, Xyron), Binding and Laminating machines from those nasty little dust bunnies with a lovely cozy that is guaranteed to fit like a glove! Each cozy features pretty, coordinating fabrics (100% cotton) that have been machine-quilted over a layer of batting and muslin lining. All seams have been finished and the binding has been hand-basted. A button, bow, or applique embellishment adds a delightful finishing touch to each cozy. Your Cozy will certainly be a pretty addition to any work space, and will keep your Cricut Expressions/Cakes, Creates/Personal Cutters, Cuttlebugs, Gypsies, Imagines, Kindles, and Ipads free from dust, scratches, and normal wear-and-tear and damage for years to come! All cozies may be machine or hand-washed in cold water. Line dry or use low heat when drying in a clothes dryer. A cool iron may be used, if necessary. INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING INQUIRIES WELCOME. Orders will be shipped via USPS within 10-14 days of payment, and in most cases sooner. Click on pics to enlarge.

New Product Reveal: Gypsy Clutch

A new friend recently asked me to design a Gypsy Clutch for her. I loved the idea of making a Gypsy Clutch, but I did what I usually do when I have a new pattern to make--I procrastinated. Fortunately, Erica didn't give up on me and waited patiently. This is what I came up with :)
Erica has a few other Cozies in this cute Mary Engelbreit fabric.
Notice the little pocket that holds 4 extra styli. (I just love that word!)
A pocket in the top holds a few Cricut booklets.
The bottom pocket holds a Gypsy comfortably.
It stays closed with a ribbon that wraps around the back, tying in the front. The entire Cozy is quilted and all of the trim has been hand-sewn. I can't make to make one of these for me!! :)

Flippin' for Flip Cozies

Not sure if you all knew, but making Cozies isn't the only thing I do. I'm actually a 4th grade teacher. I teach in the same school I attended when I was a little girl. It's in a small, rural school district in Pennsylvania where everyone knows everyone else. I now teach the children, nieces, and nephews of some of my former classmates.
Apples really don't fall far from the tree :)

One of the other teachers in my school knows that I make Cozies. Her daughter, who is in 5th grade, asked me to make a Cozy for her iPod Touch. She told me that she loves the colors purple and teal. I gave my photobucket link to her and she picked out the beautiful purple fabric. I chose an identical teal fabric to go with it, added a crocheted flower, and this is what the finished product looked like. My friend's daughter was very happy with her new Cozy.
Another new friend in Canada requested some Cozies for Christmas presents. Like all of my other Cozies, these are fully quilted. They will fit an iPod Touch, a Flip Video Camera, and most cell phones. They close with a Velcro closure.
I made the pink Zebra Cozy to hold my niece Krystina's Christmas gift card. The red Cozy is for my mother-in-law's Flip Video camera.
My mother-in-law also gets a matching Cozy for her new iPad 2.

Quilted Christmas Stockings

For some reason, I am LOVING cardinals for Christmas this year. Not the baseball cardinals...the bird cardinals :) Just last week I purchased 24 feathery little red bird ornaments for my Christmas tree. (I'll post pictures after I finally put it up!) So, when I found some cute cardinal fabric at my local craft store this year, I did a happy dance!

After sewing Cozies day in and out, it was nice to work on these stockings. I drew a pattern on some poster board, did a little math, added a coordinating cuff on top, and this is what I came up with. They are fully quilted, hand-finished, and measure approximately 16 inches long. Not bad, huh?

I can't wait until they're brimming with little gifts to and from the ones I love :)

I know I won't have time, but I would LOVE to make some of these in a miniature version and hang all over my Christmas tree. Maybe next year...

Here's another shot of this cute fabric.


Have you guessed what it is yet? Maybe this will help. The hand-crocheted flower on the front matches Pooh perfectly!


Give up? It's an Expression Cozy featuring everyone's favorite bear :)


The background of this fabric is a light blue cloud that contrasts nicely with the brightly-colored characters. The purple stripe and ends coordinate perfectly. Wouldn't this brighten up any craft room?
