Star Trek Inspired Tea Cozy Part 2: Dome Style Cozy

Last week, I shared a quick tutorial on embroidering text. As promised, I'll now outline an easy way to make a felt, dome-style tea cozy.

First, measure the diameter and height of your teapot. Add an inch or two to allow for seams/wiggle room. Cut two rectangles on the fold of your felt (the fold will be the top of the cozy). Take something round, like a bowl or a plate, and use it to trim the two top corners.

This is what it will look like opened up. You need two of these.

If you are going to embroider anything on the cozy, now is the time. See my previous post on embroidering text.

With both pieces of fabric unfolded, line them up back-to-back. Stitch the two straight edges, leaving about a half inch seam allowance.

Fold it over and finish stitching the edges.

Now trim the seams within a quarter inch of the stitching.

Now make yourself a pot of tea and enjoy your handiwork!
