Your fabric amounts will depend on the size of your tea pot. 1. Measure the height of your tea pot plus 4". Measure the width from handle to spout plus 2 1 /2 inches. Our measurements were 11 1 /2" wide by 11" high. Fold your main fabric and cut two pieces on the fold. (Our cut pieces measured 11 1 /2" x 22" each.) 2. Cut a pocket from the coordinating fabric to 6. On one of the pieces, place the folded embroidered piece of fabric so the fold is on top (this will line the pocket). The pocket is centered on the bottom of one piece of the main fabric. On either side of the embroidery, a stitch line is sewn from the fold to the bottom edge of the pocket. Above the embroidery, sew bar tacks evenly spaced on pocket to hold the spoons. 7. With right sides together, fold the piece with the pocket in half. Mark the center at the fold and turn the right and left corners down to form a curve and press. Do the same with the second piece that measures 11 1 /2" by 22" (this piece will act as the lining). 8. Make a loop from the accent fabric and tuck it at the center top fold of the piece that has the pocket on the bottom. Stitch around the piece with 1 /2" seams on the sides and on the press line of the curves. We used a 1 /4" seam across the center top where the loop is placed. Trim corners and turn right side out. Repeat with the lining fabric (don t add a loop to the lining piece). When both pieces are wrong side out, stitch top centers together on the seam. Turn the piece with the pocket right side out and match up bottom edges. 9. Make binding from same accent fabric as the loop and bind off the bottom of the cozy. 6

Press seams away from center piece and trim ends to square them up. Sew a strip on each side, press away from center piece and square up the ends. The square now measures 10" x 10". 3. Cut backing fabric and batting to the size of your top piece. Layer all three pieces (backing wrong side up, batting and then embroidered piece right side up on top.) Quilt the layers together by stitching in the ditch. Square the piece to the size you want finished. Bind off the outside with either self made or purchased binding. We made our own binding by cutting strips 2" wide. Tea Pot Quilted Wall Hanging 4.
