Have you seen this yet? It's a Koosie to keep your drink cold in. You purchase it flat as shown. Then embroider a design of your choice and stitch up the 2 sides with your sewing machine. I put my initial on one side and TGIF "This grandmother is Fantastic!" on the other side. I found them at a quilt shop in New York while visiting my parents. They were 2 for $3 or $2 each. Something different, thought I would give them a try. Hugs, Susan

Cute idea and I'd love to make some for a pool party I'm having over the 4th. Do you know what the blanks are called so I can google them? Thanks.

Nice to see something different - what are they made of?

I would call it neoprene, but not sure that is correct. They are sort of a form with a polyester coating. Only issue I had was some parts of my design the stitching overlapped and the thread wanted to break in these areas. So I would recommend simple designs. Susan

I meant to say a foam fabric with a polyester coating. Susan

Nice find on them and the embroidery is pretty. I have also seen them used to protect a cell phone. The bottom openings might just fit the recharging cord on some models.

Love this - and the wording for "TGIF" (I know two others). Great job!
