How To Start Making A Quilted Coffee Pot Cozy
Step One: Create the Cupcake Appliqué
Refer to the appliqué instructions to craft a pink and green cupcake appliqué on white cotton fabric. Add intricate details like embroidery, beading, and sequins, using the accompanying photograph as your reference. Trim the cupcake appliqué down to a size of 4 3/4 x 5 1/4 inches (12 x 13 cm).
Assemble The Patchwork Quilted Coffee Pot Cozy
Step Two: Assemble the Patchwork Front
Utilize the triangle template to cut out two triangular patches from each of the four distinct floral fabrics. Seam together one set of triangles, maintaining a 1/4-inch (5mm) seam allowance, to form a delightful patchwork square featuring a mix of floral patterns. Repeat this step to create another square.

Align the raw edges and baste (tack) white broderie anglaise trimming on each side of the cupcake piece to secure it for stitching into the seam.

Step Four: Prepare the Back and Batting
Cut a piece of patterned fabric measuring 14 x 6 inches (35 x 15 cm) for the back of the cozy. Cut a piece of batting (wadding) measuring 12 1/2 x 4 3/4 inches (32 x 12 cm). Layer the batting between the patchwork front and the back, ensuring that the right sides are facing outward. Pin everything in place. Quilt the coffee pot cozy by stitching along all the seam lines of the patchwork.

Step Five: Create the Flounce (Frill) and Binding
Fashion a flounce (frill) by cutting a spiral strip of fabric, approximately 12-inch (12mm) wide and 28 inches (70cm) long, from the pink spotted fabric. Cut the spiral strip in half to yield two flounce (frill) lengths. From the same pink spotted fabric, cut two binding strips measuring 14 x 1 1/2 inches (35 x 4 cm) and two measuring 6 1/2 x 1 1/2 inches (16.5 x 4 cm). Turn under 1/4 inch (5mm) along both long edges of all four binding strips.

Step Six: Bind and Embellish
Use the two longer binding strips to bind the top and bottom edges of the cozy. Machine stitch the two lengths of flounce (frill) along the bottom of the front of the cozy. Pin and then machine stitch a length of white braid trimming to conceal the stitching and the top edges of the flounce. Employ the shorter binding strips to bind the side edges, ensuring that the ends of the flounce are secured within the binding on each side.

Step Seven: Add Ribbon Ties
Utilize an eyelet punch to create circular holes at the top and bottom of each side of the cozy, just inside the binding. Cut the ribbon into four equal pieces and thread one through each hole, knotting it in place to ensure a secure fit. Wrap the cozy around your coffee pot and tie the ribbons to keep the cozy snugly in place.
