Time is valuable and it is not surprising that there are a growing number of disposable goods forconvenience.It is hard for one to make a significant positive impact on society, the environment, whatever youcall it. But I always believe that no matter how small, if you do a good thing eventually it will leadto a good result. There is a saying in Japanese which literally translates to
piled-up specks of dust become a mountain 
, meaning many small efforts combined bring great success.I recently made a cup sleeve that saves using a paper cup sleeve each time you buy a cup ofcoffee to take out. Hopefully this free tutorial would be used by many to make their own cupsleeve and save on having to use more paper in the café.Enjoy sewing!

Step 7.
Open the side seams and irongently (blue arrows). Make sure that thebottom seam is still folded inwards (greenarrow). Repeat for the interior fabric.
Step 4.
Iron the fusible wadding onto theexterior fabric.
Do not iron on the wadding side as this will melt and stick to your iron.Always iron on the fabric side .
Fold the lower seam and without touchingthe actual wadding (to avoid melting it)iron inwards. Note that the ironed seam isslightly curved (see blue arrow).
Step 5.
Repeat step 4 for the otherexterior fabric. For the interior fabrics, dothe same but without the wadding.
