Cozy to the Core Mug Rug (Downloadable Sewing and Machine Embroidery Design)

Cozy up with a warm cup of cider and a little handmade happiness with the Cozy to the Core!

This adorable rag-style mug rug is the perfect companion for your favorite fall beverage and a sweet treat. Featuring the cheerful "Cozy to the Core" design with a darling apple appliqué, this project combines soft flannel fabrics, simple patchwork, and delightfully frayed edges for a cozy, homespun look.

Designed for both traditional sewing and machine embroidery, this versatile pattern lets you choose your favorite stitching method! Use your embroidery machine to stitch the lettering and apple design, or create the same charming look with fusible appliqué on your sewing machine.

The simple four-patch construction makes this a fun, quick project that's perfect for using your favorite flannel fabrics. After stitching, simply clip the seams, wash, and dry to create those wonderfully soft, fluffy rag-quilt edges.

Perfect for fall decorating, handmade gifts, sewing retreats, or enjoying a little cider break in your sewing room!

And here's something extra sweet—the pattern even includes a Girlfriend Cider Recipe to enjoy while you stitch!
