Tea Cozy

1. Measure the height of your tea pot plus 4". Measure the width from handle to spout plus 21/2 inches. Our measurements were 111/2" wide by 11" high. Fold your main fabric and cut two pieces on the fold. (Our cut pieces measured 111/2" x 22" each.)

2. Cut a pocket from the coordinating fabric to

For this project, you will need:• 1/2 yard main fabric• 1/4 yard coordinating fabric for pocket• 1/4 yard accent fabric for binding or 21" of pre- made bias tape • Cut-away backing• Spray adhesive• Fabric disappearing ink pen• Design KC0414• Fabric amounts are for the tea pot we used.

measure 9" wide x 111/2" long. Fold in half length wise and press.

3. Unfold pocket piece and mark the center of design on the lower portion of the pocket.

4. Hoop two pieces of cut-away backing and fabric.

5. Embroider design. Remove from hoop. Trim backing from design

6. On one of the pieces, place the folded embroidered piece of fabric so the fold is on top (this will line the pocket). The pocket is centered on the bottom of one piece of the main fabric. On either side of the embroidery, a stitch line is sewn from the fold to the bottom edge of the pocket. Above the embroidery, sew bar tacks evenly spaced on pocket to hold the spoons.

7. With right sides together, fold the piece with the pocket in half. Mark the center at the fold and turn the right and left corners down to form a curve and press. Do the same with the second piece that measures 111/2" by 22" (this piece will act as the lining).

8. Make a loop from the accent fabric and tuck it at the center top fold of the piece that has the pocket on the bottom. Stitch around the piece with 1/2" seams on the sides and on the press line of the curves. We used a 1/4" seam across the center top where the loop is placed. Trim corners and turn right side out. Repeat with the lining fabric (don’t add a loop to the lining piece). When both pieces are wrong side out, stitch top centers together on the seam. Turn the piece with the pocket right side out and match up bottom edges.

9. Make binding from same accent fabric as the loop and bind off the bottom of the cozy.

Press seams away from center piece and trim ends to square them up. Sew a strip on each side, press away from center piece and square up the ends. The square now measures 10" x 10".

We made our own binding by cutting strips 2" wide.
