Back in the winter I found a pattern online for a coffee cozy. It looked really simple to make and I knew I had plenty of scraps from all my java-themed fabrics to make some. Then I had an even better idea . . . use coffee cozies as curtain tiebacks!
Once I decided on which fabric I would use as the backing for my curtains, I knew that would work well for the cozy tiebacks. Here's what I did . . .

I have seven window curtains in The Coffee Cup, so that means I have three leftover cozies to use for their original purpose. Here's what the re-purposed cozies look like as curtain tiebacks . . .
