Our blog is dedicated to seasonal living: cooking with local produce (sometimes our own), sewing for the home and searching out vintage bargains.

We believe that most of the pleasure is in the journey - in the making and creating, even if in a simple way.

Tea so cosy


There are loads of ways to upcycle old felted wool jumpers (good job, as I seem to shrink them in the wash quite regularly!)  Tea cosies are pretty simple to sew from felt - no hemming needed. 

This is all done by hand using some embroidery threads on the leaves and flowers, and green wool for blanket stitch around the edge.  I used other bits of felted wool for flowers, some buttons and a loop on the top.  Anyone fancy a cuppa?
