I was able to get these gifts done just before my machine started to misbehave. I forgot to get a picture of the back of the second group of koozies - but, they too had names stitched on them. Needless to say, there are many men in my family - LOL. Thanks for taking a look! Laura

That is a great tip, Kay!! I ran downstairs to the kitchen, once I finished one koozie to try it out - I was worried about the fit - but, was very lucky that it fit just fine. Thanks!! Laura*

I believe I ordered the neoprene koozie material from
https://www.blankkoozies.com/
There are lots of sites that sell them.

I used a couple of layers of tear away on the back of these and tried water soluable stabilizer on the top - but, really didn't notice a difference when I didn't use the WSS. The stitches do sink in regardless. My thoughts are, you would do best by avoiding dense designs. These stitched up very quickly - I made sure to double sew each side. My "guys" loved having their names stitched on. Don't hesitate to ask me questions - I'll help in any way I can!! Good luck! Thanks, Laura*

How nice of you to offer help! Thank you for advising me to stay clear of dense designs. It is so heartbreaking to ruin materials! If I understand, double sewing each side is a great idea. You really did an awesome job! Thanks so much for commenting and should I have a problem...I know now the expert to contact! Thank you Laura!

I am always on a quest to find designs and projects for men. Besides my sweet DH, I have 4 kind brothers, 3 handsome sons, a super father-in-law and a wonderful son-in-law. My beautiful daughter and brilliant 2 year old Granddaughter are easy to stitch for - the guys, not so much!!!! Everyone of the "guys" loved this gift! Thanks and hugs, Laura*

by dailylaundry 05 Jan 2015

I am sure I will be making a few more! Thanks! Laura*

Hahaha ... I actually saw my son-in-law use his at his house the other day. Thanks!! Laura*

I ordered the koozies - which were flat - I just embroidered on them and machine stitched up the sides. It was an easy project and nice to be able to stitch a "guy's" gift! Thanks, Laura*
