The mug for which this was made is taller and bigger around. I will adjust the pattern accordingly and try again. It’s a very cute idea, though.

Introduction
Too hot? Too cold? Drop your favourite drink in our latest cup holder and free your hands from the extreme temperatures!
Finding the perfect cup fit to suit all cup sizes in the market is akin to Goldilocks searching for her ideal (porridge/chair/bed). Every cup has a different upper and lower circumference measurements. However, after a series of intense testing and tweaks, I have arrived at a generic (gentle arc) shape pattern (and method) that will suit most cups sizes.
In the video tutorial, I have also shared two different ways of construction - Perfect Fit and Expandable Fit. The expandable version are sewn in with small strips of elastic, which allows for some give/stretch to suit cup sizes in between.
I hope this pattern will provide some ease to users who may have difficulty handling the cups (without any holders) as well as users who just want to have some fun making/personalising their very own holders.
Product Features

I love it!! It is so easy to make i made it less than one hour eventho i am just a beginner
It was a very quick sew. Straight forward after watching the video. Taking it out to the zoo today! So excited. Might have to look at doing straps a little differently but it works great for what I needed. Absolutely love these patterns.
This was a fantastic pattern. I have made two versions so far: one for disposable cups, and another, with a Velcro strap added for stability, for my Yeti Rambler travel mug. I am able to use both versions to take drinks with my on my Honda Ruckus 50cc scooter. Life-changing! Love them.
I have not tried to make it, but I will
