another easy sewing project for Christmas gifts

Did you know that tea is the most commonly consumed beverage in the world after water? Are you a tea drinker? Or know someone who is? Check out this website for an easy teacozy pattern. Another Christmas gift sewing project suitable for beginner sewers to the more advanced.

My only suggestion to the tutorial is to use an insulated batting like Soleri or Insul-Brite. When sewing the batting into the teacozy, lay the metallic side of the batting towards the inside so it would be close to the tea pot. This way, when covering the pot of hot tea, the heat waves hit the metallic layer and bounce back to the tea, keeping the tea hot for longer! EG: your fabric layers should be 1. outside fabric, 2. batting with metallic side up, 3. lining fabric.

Cheers!
