for the perfect cup of tea...
I drink tea many times a day [more when I am at home] yet, I don't have a single cozy to keep my tea pot warm. So, after all these years I took the time to make one special tea cosy. By the time I was done there were three of them;
Here they are;
This is to all the ladies who work so hard in the tea plantations to pick the finest leaves for the perfect cup.
I used a piece of tea dyed cloth and did a bit back stitching and applique for a the sketch I did. I also had to find and match pieces from the bag of remnants.
This one is for all the hard labour that is put in to sorting and packing.
I unpicked and used this bag that came as a part of the packing Also included few used tea bags in the pattern. What about washing it? These bags will get ripped :( ok, I will hand wash carefully.
Lastly, over a cup of tea! This one, I will give to a friend.
The stitching did not turn out as neatly as I wanted.
Thank you for stopping by for a cup of tea, and I hope you enjoyed !!
Until next time,

ReplyDeletethank you Margaret.
DeleteI like the two ladies !! The drawing is so funny!
ReplyDeleteI love the concept you put into the three stages of tea (how can you split up the set?). Such delicate illustrations. Love that girly, curly-q tea time :) Wendy
ReplyDeleteThank you Wendy.
DeleteAfter all the time spent making these I am little bit sad to part with one, but I promised my friend a one [maybe I will start another]
I too drink many cups of tea a day and think your tea cozies look wonderful!! So nice too that they all have a tea theme on them.
