Chapstick Cozy

I saw this adorable chapstick cozy on http://www.littlebitfunky.com and I had to make my own version to put my lipgloss in :)  I am a lipgloss girl, forget the chapstick!

Here is what you will need-

home decor fabric (duck fabric some people call it) or a heavy cotton
D ring's ( find at JoAnn's or Hancock in the notions section)
iron
sewing machine
thread
1/4 inch sewing foot ( or use your footplate for measurements)
chapstick or lipgloss

The full instructions are listed on the above website but I changed mine up a little!

You will first need to cut 2, 9 inch long by 2 1/2 inch wide pieces of fabric

put right sides together and sew along with 1/4 inch seam foot along 3 sides of the 4. You will leave a bottom open to turn right sides out.  I used 2 different patterned fabrics but you can just do one if you want. 

Turn fabric right sides out leaving the unfinished seam open.  Go ahead and press flat, tucking in the unfinished seam as you press.  Then you will take the bottom (finished end) and bring it 2 inches from the top of the cozy and press flat.

Then you will sew around the 3 corners with an 1/8 inch seam.  Then pause to listen for your sleeping baby to make sure he's not up to disturb your project.

Now that your 3 seams are done, insert your D ring at the top where the unfinished seam is.

After inserting your D ring press flat and sew 1/8 seam at the very end of the fabric to make sure you finish off the seam and attach the D ring.

And there ya have it folks!  Chap stick cozy! "Lippy Lipgloss holders" as I call them! Enjoy, and make some for friends! They will love um!

Now get them on your car keys for no more purse diggin'!
