Our Favorite Supplies for Fabric Coffee Sleeves

Here's a list of the materials and tools we use to make a fabric coffee sleeve.

Insul-Bright Batting: This insulated lining reflects heat or cold back to the source, making it an ideal material for coffee sleeves. It helps keeps your drink hot or cold, as well as protects hands.

Buy on Amazon or Fat Quarter Shop.

Air-Erasable Marker: Mark cutting or sewing lines on fabric with this fine-tip fabric marker. The marked lines will disappear naturally after a few days or you can use the eraser to get rid of the marks immediately.

Buy on Amazon or Fat Quarter Shop.

50 wt. Aurifil Thread: This 100%-cotton thread is low-lint and comes in a variety of colors. We suggest getting a neutral color (such as cream or light gray) that will blend with a variety of colors, so you don't need to switch thread between projects.

Buy on Amazon or Fat Quarter Shop.

Wonder Clips: This pin alternative holds bulky layers in place and is easy to remove when sewing. You can also use these clips to hold binding in place while sewing!

Buy on Amazon or Fat Quarter Shop.

Hera Marker: A hera marker makes it easy to mark your sleeve for quilting. We use our hera markers to mark quilting lines on our quilts and diagonal lines on triangle-squares, too!
