I spent the morning making the cutest tea wallet. Now when I go somewhere that does not have good tea, I will have my own! I wish I had this last week when I spent the day at a symposium on the Vermont economy. They only had herbal, green, and Salada. (Yes, I am a tea snob. But I do drink Lipton, so I am not as bad as I used to be.)
I found the instructions for the tea wallet via whip up.
I made mine using an old denim skirt and an old pair of cotton pajama pants. Both were rarely worn, so the material is still stiff and the colors still vibrant.
Since I used denim, I did not need the interfacing.
Here are the fabric pieces ironed and ready to be sewn, pocket pieces folded.
I embroidered a flower on the outside piece of denim, before assembly.
The pajama pants even had a draw string that I was able to use for the closure, so everything matched.
Here is the inside.
That is a bag of Twinings Darjeeling, my favorite bagged tea.
Thanks so much to Christy’s Creations for that wonderful tutorial.
