How To Make A Tea Cozy...

Making Tea Cozies

Making tea cozies are very easy and so much fun to make!

Getting so much enjoyment from them this next cooler season.

I think many vintage tea rituals have become a lost art.

I have always loved seeing a tea cozy being used.

After all, if we want a cup of tea, we want to drink it Hot!

So, if you get in the habit of brewing up a nice pot of tea,

This little tea cozy would be a wonderful addition.

I have quite a few tea cozies

 as I wanted one of each different fabric I made them in.

But I did give a few away;

Items Needed:

1/2 yard of material for outside: 

1/2 yard of material for the lining:

 You can use fleece for this also

1/2 yard of batting or fiber: 

(For insulating between layers)

This batting is what keeps the tea nice and hot!

You will be needed two of the outside materials, lining and batting;

So place your pattern on the fold of your material!

And a pattern 11x14 shaped like a half circle

(Use a paper sack or wrapping paper)

Scissors

Pins

Lace (for the bottom edge)

Buttons for the top if you want one!

You can really embellish it with anything you like!

This is a very easy and fun sewing idea!

Quick yet look very professional sewn.

They are pretty costly to purchase for one's self.

~See my sweet strawberry pin cushion~

Having a good sharp pair of scissors is wonderful to cut the

fabric out with.

Here is a very easy tutorial we found after we figured it out

for ourselves! She has a British accent she explains it very well!

The Charm Of Home Tea Cozy

When we made these Tea Cozy's last year we had a day long
~Sewing Day~

In order to get so many made we worked side by side;
We had so many lovely fabrics to choose from;
My friend Pam had a closet filled with fabric,
She was so gracious in sharing with us ladies.
Thank You Pam!

The sweet red one was one my DIL made;
She did place some cute buttons on hers!

I also made another one for a dear friend that I wanted to share
Here is a link to one of my favorite bloggers
You may know her; Her name is Lydia,
She has been a source of encouragement to me for a very long time.
