Liza's Cup Sleeve with Stopper Holder

"What" you say? Well I have a little pattern for you, but first, pictures:




One Venti Soy Hazelnut Steamer with a new tapered Sweater, accessorized with the
ever-elusive green Starbuck's stopper.
This multi-function garment, not only keeps your drinks warm, but helps you keep track of that ever-elusive Starbuck's stopper.

They are great with cold drinks too. Keeps the condensation away and the drink cold longer.
