Coffee, Tea or Energy -- Break Buddy Tutorial

If you head over to FreeSpirit's blog, you'll find my latest tutorial.  Who doesn't need a handy little helper like this?  The pockets hold tea bags, Emergen-C packs and Starbucks Via instant coffee packages.
Keep one in your handbag, your gym bag, your desk drawer, your glove compartment....well, you get the idea.  You'll always be prepared.
I pieced one in Sis Boom.  You could easily use the Mug Rug Template here and trim it to size before assembling it.
For a less overtly feminine choice, here's one made up in Jenean Morrison's Power Pop.
Plenty of interest and I love the cornflower blue with the pops of yellow and espresso brown.
And if we're going to talk about coffee addicts, I think Pam and I are vying for a title. So it's only appropriate that PamKittyMorning fabric be used for a coffee buddy.
Sweet and lovely on the outside.  Powerful kick on the inside.  Just perfect.
I like to keep tutorials simple and quick and this one is no exception.  You can make up a nice little stack in an afternoon.  So head over and get started.

Well well well...I see I have another project to add to my sewing weekend with my sister this coming weekend! And I may have some cute Sis Boom scraps that would be just perfect for this little cutie of a stitch! :o)

A terrific idea and such cute fabric picks. The wheels are turning on how I could turn this into a tiny art on the go kit.
