Final Product: What You Will Create

Preface:

Soup cups come in different sizes. Instructions will be given for the soup cup shown. Use the instructions as a guide for the wrap you will make for the soup cup you purchase.

There are many ways to fasten wraps to a cup such as elastic and buttons. To make things very easy, use hook ‘n loop tape!

Step 1:

Read through the instructions thoroughly before beginning and assemble all the materials needed to complete the project.

Step 2:

Measure around the cup, the height, and the opening needed under the handle.

Step 3:

Measure the amount of fabric needed. For this project, an amount to hoop in length and about 12” wide was used.

Step 4:

Press the fabric well with spray starch. Quarter fold and lightly crease to mark the center of the fabric. Hoop the fabric with the stabilizer, centering it in the hoop.

Step 5:

Load the design on the machine. Stitch the design following the color sequence.

Step 6:

Here is the completed stitching. If desired, add a name, too.

Step 7:

Using the measurement from the cup, cut the embroidered fabric to size, centering the design. For the mug done in this project, the fabric was cut ½” below and above the outer most top and bottom stitching; this included ¼” seam allowances.

Step 8:

Check the fit and trim off any excess length, but leaving ¼” seam allowances at both short edges. Cut a piece of batting and backing fabric larger than the embroidered piece.

Step 9:

Trim the short ends, and then baste all three layers together along the long edges.

Step 10:

Baste the short edges together and then trim away the excess batting and backing.

Step 11:

Using lengths of bias binding, cover the short ends of the wrap first and stitching them in place. Next, cover the long edges with bias binding, wrapping the ends to the back.

Step 12:

Pin the binding in place and then stitch it down, removing the pins as you sew.

Step 13:

Measure the opening of the wrap, to determine how long to cut the hook and loop pieces. Cut the pieces and then pin them to the back side of the wrap. Place the soft sides up

Step 14:

and the hood sides down so when they are aligned they will close together. Sew the hook ‘n loop pieces in place.

Step 15:

Trim off any excess hook ‘n loop on the back.

Step 16:

Place the wrap on the cup and secure the hook ‘n loop tape pieces together. Trim off any excess.

Step 17:

This will make the wrap neat and tidy. Place the lid on the cup.

Step 18:

Congratulations on creating a fun wrap to keep soup hot while tailgating and waiting for the game to start!
