Week 10 – Project 23
Tea Cozy – designed by Sarah Hunter page 69
Cindy selected My Folklore Dala Horse Black & My Folklore Medallion Ochre.
Cindy’s Tips and Thoughts
- The Tea Cozy was an easy pattern to follow. It took less than an hour from start to finish.
- When placing the Tea Cozy on the tea pot it fit well at an angle. (At first it was a bit snug, by giving it a slight turn it fit just right.)
- The completed project is more square than it appears in the photos.
Instead of using ribbon Cindy made her own bias binding out of a contrasting fabric.
This charming Tea Cozy will brighten up your kitchen…it’s so cute!
Week 10 – Project 24 & 25
Wine -Lover’s Special – Wine-Bottle Holders designed by Sarah Hunter page 71 & Coasters designed by Patricia Hoskins pg 72
Carrie chose French General Maison De Garance Florence Natural & French General Maison De Garance Primevere Red.
Carrie’s Tips and Thoughts
- The directions are simple and straight forward.
- A small alteration was made to the pattern with the addition of squared corners on the bag base. (follow the directions on pg. 70 “customize the corners” cut a 1 1/4″ square) Do this for both the lining and exterior.
- A special way to present a bottle of wine. Plan on making a stack of wine bottle holders for birthday and hostess gifts.
- If using the French General fabric, include the selvage when measuring the exterior fabric. The actual selvage is in the seam allowance which allows the pretty edge design to become part of the bag.
The Coaster design is really fun. Easy to follow directions make for a great addition to this gift set.
The Pink Chalk Team suggests making them in different colors so your guests can easily identify their glass.
Inspired by the French General and wine theme Carrie created a towel from French General Maison De Garance Linen panel Tea.

I love what you are making. I think that the dala horse fabric is a must have, it is so cute.
Love those coasters! Didn’t realize that was part of the she-bang.
Wonderful!
i absolutely adore the tea cozy!! so cute! and love all the projects so far!
The bottle bags and wine glass coasters look wonderful! It is making me want to look more closely at some French General fabric!
Okay, that’s it. I’m making a tea cozy this weekend! Very cute!
Just love the tea cozy in that My Folklore! Great job Pink Chalk Team!
Well done, team! That Maison de Garance is so classy – great choice for the wine bags.
oh my i love that dala horse tea cozy!
Those coasters are so cute and so smart! I’ve been thinking about a tea cozy for some time…this may be the push forward that I needed!! Thank you!!
Both projects turned out nicely. I really like having the comments to guide us when we make ‘em.
Oh my Gosh! That tea cozy in the Dala Pattern, wants me to make it for my relatives in Sweden! It turned out stellar!
The tea cozy made me think I’d like to have a bigger version for my sewing machine. I really like that fabric choice.
For the french general fabric….how big are those squares? I am thinking that they would be a great size with a little extra of the surrounding fabric would be great size for hotpads and mug rugs……
Shannon: the design is 6″ x 6″ with 2″ between each square.
I really like these projects. The My Folklore is so appropriate for a tea cozy, and I love the wine coster idea!
Dala horse black is beautiful and so is tea cozy
I’m loving this sew along — so inspirational!
Great to see how the projects are turning out. Lots of inspiration!
Really like those French General fabrics
Kove them both, as always!
Love the tea cozy. Since I’m a tea drinker (never really developed a taste for coffee), I need one of those.
These are adorable!!
The tea cozy is so sweet! The fabric is so cute!
love that tea cozy, so cute!
Both of you chose such perfect fabrics for your projects! Very different moods, and both of them terrific.
I love the My Folklore fabrics!! I’ll have to look into those.
I’ve just had the idea to make those coasters instead of wine glass rings, using different coloured scraps to help identify wine glasses at parties.
I’m so glad I bought the book and found this site. So many clever ideas and such beautiful execution!
I really like the coasters, I wasn’t so sure about them at first but seeing them makes me want to make a ton for my friends!!
