Before I left for the Creative Tea Time Craft Party, I thought that I would be a polite guest and bring a little gift as a thank you for hosting.
And since it was a tea party I thought I would keep the theme for the gift.
Cutting a setting fabric square larger makes it easy to cut down to desired size after you complete the appliqué.
It was late at night so I opted to use my sewing machine to create the appliqué around the teapot.
*I'm not kidding, as I was finishing these projects my sewing machine seized up. So the next day I had to take it to the shop to be fixed.
I thought it would be adorable to create a tea bag tag that was able to dangle about. It was extra hand stitching but really turned out nicely.
You could glue this to a paper bag with handles or even add it to a canvas tote bag. A sewing machine isn't necessary because you can do most the stitching by hand.
Last but not least, the gift bag was filled with a vintage washcloth that I made from vintage fabric and terry cloth. Also included deliciously smelling soap from Naturally Wild Artisan Soap and Bath.
Before I left the event, I gave each hostess my handmade gift. They were very appreciative and I really hope that they liked them.
Please comment or share if you make your own version, I'd love to hear from you.
