Our water is so hard, and even though we have a water filter on our kettle, stewing tea just doesn't taste very nice here. OK, enough with the excuses for not making the teapot cosy as part of Zakka 2.0, so may I present you with my teabag pouch...
It may have taken a whole afternoon to settle on the Joel Dewberry honeycomb, and to make the Farmdale fabric-covered button, but to stitch together the pouch, literally took minutes!
It's a very sweet pattern, I think I need to widen my tea-drinking horizons from everyday blends to do this pretty justice though. At the moment it may as well be filled with Lemsip sachets, although my taste and smell are coming back, and hopefully tomorrow I will feel normal, yay!
I'm linking up with Lindsey, where you will find all sorts of beautiful tea cosies and pouches.
Here comes the weekend everyone xxx
I caught your cold! [hahaha - just joking - but I do have a cold, but not from you!!] Lemsip has been my friend the past 4 days!! It took me ages and ages to decide on fabrics too! I LOVE yours - anything with Modern Meadow in it is YUM in my eyes!!!
ReplyDeleteBrilliant! Get well soon xx
ReplyDeleteP.S. Chocolate helps to banish colds...
Love!!!! And I think I probably am just blind myself but did you make this pattern or get it from somewhere else? (I must have it!!)
ReplyDeleteVery chic despite the lemsip sachets! Di x
ReplyDeleteYou could always have 2 - 1 for tea and one for colds and flu! Jxo
ReplyDeleteLove the Joel Dewberry - good choice! Hope you're much better and enjoy the weekend :)
ReplyDeleteFab idea...see you are living proof that you can't keep a good woman down. Get well soon.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty. I think I"m going to have to check out Zakka Style, I keep seeing so many pretty projects from them!
ReplyDeletevery cute - and beautifully made! Hope you make a full recovery soon.
ReplyDeleteThe Joel Dewberry was a perfect choice. Hope you're feeling better. This rubbish weather won't be helping!
ReplyDeleteIt is a perfect choice, and well done for sewing through your man-flu! ;o)
ReplyDeleteit's lovely!
ReplyDeletegorgeous - love your choice of fabrics :-)
ReplyDeleteLovely, I think I will make some of these for gifts.
ReplyDeleteI have no use for a tea cosy either except they are super cute.
ReplyDeleteI hope you are feeling better.
Sorry you've been poorly - hope you feel better soon. Love your Lempsip holder ;-) You could have always made *me* a tea cosy - feel free...!
ReplyDeleteThat is really cute. I don't drink tea at all but I might just make one of these anyway and then find something to keep in it.
ReplyDeleteoh this turned out great!
ReplyDeleteCome on girl - get better! I am rooting for you! Great teabag thingy! Same problem with tea but this is cute!
ReplyDeleteI never make teapot tea either. I'm the only one who drinks it so it doesn't seem worthwhile making a pot, may as well just use a bag and make myself a cuppa. Mum and Dad are still traditionalists and make a pot of tea at every meal. I caught your cold too! But yours has been going on so long - get better quickly!
ReplyDeleteGreat wee pouch, and you are right, it takes no time at all to make.
ReplyDeleteI think they're just great! I'd love to make one myself some day :)
ReplyDeleteFab, much better than the little Tupperware pot / plastic bag my girls shove into their handbags
ReplyDeleteWe have nice soft water, but tea still tastes nasty ;o)
