Here's a link for an excellent tute for the tissue covers..

I made my own pattern for the cup cozies. I opened a Starbucks cardboard sleeve and used that for a pattern. I used an elastic and button closure so that the sleeve will fit any size cup. Because they are cotton, they would also be great for a cold pop bottle, or a DQ blizzard cup, etc....anything cold that "sweats".
I used a fill of one layer of insulbrite, and one of warm and natural. Layered it all, leaving open enough to turn right side out. Turned, pressed, and top stitched around the whole edge. (Don't forget to attach the elastic when you are stitching the layers together!!) Add a button and you are done.
I mistyped on the toppers...they were hexagonal, not octagonal. Here's a link for a good tute.

Hope this helps.
