Custom Order

teacozy

Hi all! Sorry I haven't posted for so long.
I really missed updating this blog.

There are lots of things that have been
keeping me pretty busy and productive.
I like my life this way, but I have to admit
that I tremeduously miss spending time in
my sewing area and blogging with a cup of tea.

Some of you may feel the tea cozy above looks so familiar.
I know! I've made a tea cozy just like that one before!

I received a longest list of a custom order
and one of the handmade things requested is
a tea cozy that is just like this one that I
made a long time ago. Since some of the fabric
I used for this one is gone, I wasn't sure how
similar of a tea cozy I can manage to achieve,
but I think it came out just like a twin.

Coasters

I have been working on some coasters
that match the tea cozy.

By the way, I was so thrilled to receive an e-mail
from the girl who snatched this skirt from my shop.
She was so nice to share with me some pictures of her
beautiful, adorable, daughter in the skirt. I was too
excited not to ask her permission to share with you guys
one of her pictures here. I don't mean to sound gushy but
I literally thought the skirt was meant to be hers, and
I felt blessed about the opportunities this sewing
blog world has brought for me.

Thanks for coming and reading!
Have a great Sunday!

  3. It's nice to have you back. As long as you're having fun, the sewing will wait. What a wonderful thing, to send you a photo of the skirt.

    I wish there was a way to make people show me what they make with the vintag fabric I sell. I am always left wondering...

  7. I love the tea cozy! I am guessing that it goes over the tea kettle? Maybe I am wrong, but I hope I am not. I will have to check out your shop, as I have a tea kettle that would look lovely covered by one of those cozies!

  16. I haven't seen your blog in a while (shame on me!), and it is such a treat to come back to it! Your projects are all darling!! By the way, where do you get your fabrics with the lettering on them? I've looked everywhere, with not much luck at all!!

    Thanks for your sweet comment!!

    Stephanie-
    It sure is trilling to see my handmade item being loved in this way.. ;)

    My Great Retreat-
    This tea cozy is for covering a tea pot, but I think if you have a really small tea kettle, this tea cozy may be big enough ;) I don't have the item in the shop right now, but I am sure I'll make more for the shop at some points.. ;)

    Billie-
    Thanks Billie! I love your fabric choices too!!

    Anne Marie-
    Oh thank you so much!

    I have a super quick tutorial coming up;) Hope you'll enjoy..!

    Thank you! A tea cozy is used to cover up a tea kettle to keep the tea warm, so I use insulating batting to make tea cozy. It looks so cute on a coffee table!

    Anna B.-
    Thank you! I'm sorry it has takes me a while to get back to you! I make these tea cozies using a pattern that my friend got from a sewing class. I first make the panels and then sew them together and bind the edge with a binding tape. If there are more questions, feel free to send me an e-mail ;)
