This cute little reusable sleeve is going to cut our carbon footprints. Just a tiny bit, mind you, but every little bit helps.
Out early the other morning, Mom and Debbie and I stopped for coffee and bagel on a whim (read no travel mugs with us). Of course, the paper cups were too hot to handle, so we reached for cardboard sleeves. As soon as we picked them up, Mom and I looked at each other and laughed.
Using the cardboard sleeve as a pattern, we made one for each of our purses.
We sandwiched Insul-Bright (an heat-insulating batting) between two layers of fabric and stitched them up. Added Velcro and some trim, and we were done. Now we won't throw away cardboard coffee sleeves, even when we have to use paper cups.
Stay tuned. We've got a couple more projects for green living up our sleeves. If everything goes well, we'll show you the latest on Wednesday.
