Tea anyone?

As much as I love a nice strong cuppa, whenever and wherever I can, we do not use a teapot.  Gasp!!

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

  1. 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!!!

  16. That 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.

  17. Come on girl - get better! I am rooting for you! Great teabag thingy! Same problem with tea but this is cute!

  18. I 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!
