hey, it turned out great! did you piece all of those different colored strips together?
Thanks!
and thanks for asking 'how':
I had five 'fat quarters' of fabric in different colors, made 13 wedge-shaped pattern pieces in slightly varying widths, cut a bunch of fabric strips from the templates. Keeping the strips in proper order (if not, wedge shapes tend to form a circle when sewn up), I pieced those together, then took the entire rectangular pieced piece (haha) and cut it in half crosswise = 2 sides of the cozy.
Added a lining and a lined bottom in black with batting between the layers, made a black casing for the ribbon.
Sewed it all together.
Made the tam o' shanter top using the same circle template as the cozy's bottom. Also lined with a poly batting core.
Lots of hand-sewing...which I rather enjoyed.
Planning to try the cozy out tomorrow - to see how long the tea stays cozy hot!
OMG!
Nuts!
yay! it turned out so beautiful!!!
Please come take some tea with me.
