Tweet Tea cosy - Folksy

Shared by muriel2cv in the Fabric Crafts


Product Description:

This is a tea cosy made from some tea towels from a well known supermarket. I have used the patterned one for the outside, inside has a red check lining made from another tea towel in the set and I have made three decorative tags from the third tea towel. There is a red check tab so the cosy can be hung up when not in use. The cosy measures 26cms at its highest point and is 33cms wide. It will cover a medium sized tea pot. It has a thick wadding and I tested it for heat retention. The water in the teapot stayed hot for 3hrs and was still warm 6hrs later!
