Teapot Cozy

I finished the teapot cozies for my sister last month, but I forgot to post about them.

To refresh your memories, I posted here that one of my sisters requested 7 tea cozies. I worked up a prototype for her, delivered it, and found that I only needed to make one minor adjustment to the fit.

All 7 tea cozies (plus the prototype) are finished.

My Sis needs to add pretty ribbons to replace my household string closures, and then she can gift them to her friends.

These are special friends.

You see, my Sis is a published writer. She and these friends have been collaborating on a book series called ‘Wild Rose Ridge’.

That is why I had to use fabrics with roses for the tea cozies.

Have fun and carry on!

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!
