Have you ever made a teapot cozy? Me neither.
One of my sisters asked me if I would make seven of them for her.
She doesn’t sew. I do.
So off I go to the internet again!
I found a free pattern at the Embroidery Library.
I don’t own an embroidery sewing machine. However, this looked like a pattern that I could adapt for my own purposes. I like that it shows me how to measure and make my own pattern to fit the teapot.
However, I don’t live close to my sister, so I am making a prototype that I can deliver to her when I get to town (about 90 miles away). She can take the prototype home and text me later to let me know the adjustments that I need to make.
While making my pattern and prototype, I discovered that this is not as difficult as I imagined. In fact, it is an easy project!
Happy, happy!
As you can see from the photo, my prototype is a bit small for my teapot. And I used a piece of string for the closure. Finished cozies will have ribbons for closures.
Have fun and carry on!

It may be small, but what a fun ‘cozy’ for your frog family to nestle in and beside!

I have a frog print. I just might have to make a tea cozy from it. 🙂
My sis limited me to roses.
