Found a tutorial for these and thought I'd give it a try. It went very well except dummy me decided to trace the pattern out on the material and stich it out before cutting. Good thing I didn't cut the material because the design I selected was bigger than the Coffe Sleeve. Bad thing is now I have Ink marks on my coffee sleeve. I guess I'll have to save this one for me, and my hot cocoa, since I don't drink coffee. Anyone know how to take Ink out of material?

I see you got the good answer - but I have a pen I use for marking my embroidery and etc - it is a gel pen that when ironed dissapears. They are made by Pilot, and are ball FriXion Ball erasable Gel Pens. They come in several colors, and my sit and sew uses them when we are doing projects.

Oh, and good job on the coffee sleeve

Very nice!

Great job!

Very nice.

very nice project

ballpoint pen ink saturate with hair spray and blot with a clean cloth. nail polish remover( if safe for the fabric)and prewash sprays work on some ink stains. i have use both hair spray and nail polish on ink stains and ink came out.

Great project and maybe one of the tips can get the marks out. Never drank coffee but I'm thinking hot cocoa sleeve with a chocolate on it.

Yes!! I agree, not a coffee drinker either, I drink hot cocoa or tea too.

just take the pen and draw a design on the lins. it will be just like you wanted it to be

actually I have used toothpaste and or hairspray to get ink out! we used to have a cup for pens & the hairspray squirted in @ the bottom removed all of the ink!I have used toothpaste on a shirt pocket before & of course a toothbrush to gently rub it out & it works well! good luck, maybe you could share the link for the sleeve?

Nice wrap! If it is ball point pen ink, try rubbing alcohol. I've heard of using hairspray also, but I'venot tried that yet. Good luck.

Took a closer look - did you use a fabric pen, or a felt tip marker? The rubbing alcohol will still work, or try Resolve stain mover.

love it ,i have a stainless steal cup for my coffee to go and thats how we mostly get our coffee .
So i have never made one of these ,it looks like fun and you did a great job hugs

Very nice work.

I like the sleeve though. Sorry, I can`t answer your question.
