I really enjoyed doing this alot. I loved working with the different colours and yarn textures.
It was a teapot cosy!!!
Otherside view:
A close up of a couple of the flowers, I sewed a pearl bead in one type and a crystal in the other.
The top flower:
This is my favourite flower. It's made of a chenille type yarn and feels so velvety and nice.
The lid flaps open:
Of course, me being me, the cosy is a little (ok, A LOT) too tight. It probably would have been better looser. Getting it on was no mean feat! I do wonder if I should have undone it all and redone the sides of the cosy, but I was SO keen to get to the flowers, I just squeezed the tea pot in regardless! (oops).
I got the cosy pattern from HERE
Doesn't her teapot look gorgeous! I just hunted round the internet for flowers and then added a few bits. The yellow one is actually two different flowers and I just put them together.
I do love my teapot, squashed as it is!

Debi, I was thinking you would get it for sure. It's funny when you know what the item is, you are thinking everyone will guess it too easily!
Lesley, I'll be joining you, I do love a cup of tea! Let's hope the stitching on the flap is up to the job! ;)
:)

Awww it's a lovely tea cozy! I love the flowers. :)
ReplyDeleteThe teapot cosy is inspired and it looks brilliant! I actually rather like the "tight" look, very smart.
