DIY Patchwork Hot Water Bottle Cozy

I love making cozies for mugs, bowls and much more. They are perfect for protecting the palms from heat and keeping our soups and tea warm for a longer period. When I saw the tutorial for this DIY Patchwork Hot Water Bottle Cozy, I fell in love with it immediately. My feet get cold most of the time during the cold seasons and hot water bottles are my saving grace. So, this will help keep the bottles warm for longer.
