I made a little tea cozy for my brand new French press, aka The Bodum. Ever since Susan Hollingsworth had one at Summit Coop 25+ years ago, I've wanted one. I finally found a cheap imitation at StV a few month's ago, but alas, it cracked with a little hot water. [Yikes!] So DH got me a real one. 2-1/2 cups, suitable for a coupla empty nesters like us!
He jokingly said it needed a little tea cozy, so I took him up on the challenge and made one ...
This is fabric that I quilted a while back when I was making bags. This was a lovely woven fabric salvaged from a skirt. Unfortunately, I realized too late that I had cut the piece out backwards -- mirror image to what I really needed. Oh well! It actually worked remarkably well for this project.
I backed it with a piece of flannel, and then played with it (folding over the top edge to make a collar -- like a robe -- and adding the button and hair tie for the closure.
YES -- We use it for tea, not coffee. That's just the way we roll ... ;-)
"Perfect for my little Bodum!"
