Why Reuse?
Upcycled Jean Soup Cozy: I make these using vintage repurposed blue jean material, because I believe in recycling and reusing what I can, and they are so fun and colorful!! I was always told by my mother "waste not want not" which is pure Scotch thinking and is the purest form of using the things on hand for daily devices. Trying to get back to the simple life makes you think about the waste in the world today. Landfills are filling up, and this is but one little way that I can help. The use of old unused items seems the perfect way to make tools that are needed every day, from "stuff" that you already have on hand. There are so many uses for denim. Keep an eye out here at MountainsideGoods.com as the sewing machine is just warming up.

My Soup Cozy's
These soup cozies are made with vintage recycled blue jean fabric, 2 layers of 100% cotton batting, and colorful 100% cotton material. These are so much fun to use, and they add color and charm to any kitchen. They make great gifts and really everyone should have a set. These will last you for years, as my first set lasted me about 6 years, and I eat soup A LOT!
Your hands fit right into the pockets for ease of use.
The price is for 2 Blue Jean Cozy's. I tried to sell them as sets, but most people like to pick 2 colors. I will try to have the pricing work for picking 2 cozies for the cost of $25.00. Let's see if I can manage that LOL. The shipping may be all muffed up ??? but it should be a padded flat rate for a set, and that also will fit more than one set.
Made with a 10 x 10 square to start before sewing them into shape. They measure approximately 8 x 8 when finished.
