To match or not to match

I just listed some great items in the shop.  A shoulder bag which is good for all your shopping needs, or great for a purse.  Also in the same fabric I have a reusable coffee sleeve.  They would be the perfect gift for that special someone.  If you don't like the match, you can always go for one of the other items in the shop.
There are so many reasons to buy during August.  Get your holiday shopping done early, but lets not forget the fun days in August.
August 12- Sewing Machine Day
August 12 - Vinyl Record Day
August 15 - Best Friends Day
August 17 - National Thrift Shop Day

Just to name a few.

Spring Accessories!

Yes, everyone needs to have a few seasonal accessories.  I made this great coffee sleeve that is the perfect way to hop into spring.  The bright stripe coffee sleeve is fun and great for those cool nights when hot coffee is a must.  Are your sending out some  birthday presents in the upcoming months?  Check out the bulk listing for coffee cozies, or you can request any number that you need.  Of course, when you purchase multiples you get a great discount!

Bulk listings=Discounts

I tried a listing for multiple coffee sleeves.  I think people liked the ability to buy multiple sleeves for a great discount.  I am thinking about doing more and more multiple listings for the coffee sleeves.
Regular price of a single unique coffee sleeve is $5.00, however, if you purchase the package deal with three or more coffee sleeves you get a dollar off each sleeve!  Now that is a good discount.

I am always up for custom orders, so if you need a certain number of sleeves, just let me know.  I can't guarantee that the fabrics will all be the same.  That is what makes them so unique.  The fabric patterns are from the left over projects, and other pieces of salvaged fabric that would otherwise end up in the landfill.
Using the coffee sleeve is eco friendly in two ways, maybe more.  First you don't have to use a cardboard sleeve, and second, the fabrics are recycled!  So make your daily grind a little more green!  They do make great gifts, and at the discounted price you can get one for everyone in the office!

Your daily Grind - More Green

Coffee sleeves are routinely used at coffee shops, you know the ones they are cardboard, dull and brown. Every time we go we say no to the coffee cozy that the barista is slipping over the cup. The other day we were grabbing a cup of joe at Starbucks and I asked the girl to leave off the sleeve, and she looked at me as if I were crazy. Then she asked if I would like a double cup instead. So I handed her the cloth reusable coffee sleeve and she effortlessly slipped it on to the cup. She said she loved the cloth sleeve, and could not believe that I made it.
I have a ton of these coffee sleeves in all sorts of recycled fabrics. They make great gifts for the office, or an addition to a gift basket or a little extra in the form of a tie on for the top of a pretty package. If you know a daily coffee drinker, and I know you do, this might just tickle their fancy. Many of the sleeves are just tossed out with the trash, despite the fact that they could be recycled. Why not just skip the trash and use your fashionable cloth coffee sleeve. Keep your eye on Threadbeaur I will be stocking the shop with new bags, and coffee sleeves all week. Of course, if you are looking for a bunch of the coffee sleeves email with the details.

May Giveaway Day

I was just over at Sew Mama Sew! where I saw that she is organizing a great bunch of websites that are hosting giveaways. I am going to participate in the May Giveaway Day by hosting a giveaway for a fun reusable coffee sleeve. This eco-friendly coffee cozy is handmade by me and you can see others similar to it in my Etsy shop: Threadbeaur. These great reusable sleeves can save lots of cardboard sleeves from going to the landfills.
Think of your coffee consumption:
1 to go cup a day snuggled with a cardboard sleeve=7 per week, 364 per year!
That is on a light week! Compound that by the number of coffee drinkers around the world and the number becomes staggering! Make your daily cup of coffee a little more green, win this coffee sleeve! Read the fine print below the picture.
