Yep, I went crazy and made some more tea wallets to sell at the markets. It’s a fun way to put to use all of that nice japanesey fabric that I have in my stash!

I’m loving the red two…

I’ve just sold the cute red tea wallet (the one with little pink flowers). :) Helena was wandering around with a plastic bag to hold her rooibos teabags in her handbag. I opened her eyes to a better way.

I’ve been thinking of making some of these for a little while, and was inspired to put idea into action at the Craft Market on Saturday! Thanks for the encouragement Jodz! You Rock!

They are basically an extension of the good old tea wallet and are for all those customer loyalty cards you get at cafe’s and stores. I’ve also included a couple of coffee sachet’s for times when you might get caught without your fix! ;)

What do you think? Good idea?

I guess the real question is, will it sell at the markets?!

just a little more creativity…

I’ve been wanting to make one of these ever since they began arriving on the blogging scene last year. And so here are my first two tea wallet proto-type’s…

You may remember seeing the fabric for the cat tea wallet on my retreat montage, and yes it was made to match… :) I now have a neat little trio to have in my handbag…

Did you guess that I like cat’s, and the colours, orange and green? ;)

I do really LOVE my diary cover… Now I can keep up with everything in my life (and my kid’s lives too!)

The green stripy fabric was one of the many fat quarters I received in the sewmamasew fat quarter swap. Thanks Jacqui! All the other fabric was out of my growing stash… I swear my stash is like a living thing!

POSTSCRIPT for Kristy and anyone else who has been wondering;
Tea wallets are to hold teabags in your handbag. You know, if you’ve got a favourite cuppa and want to be able to take it with you to a friends house. Maybe they don’t drink tea or don’t drink the tea you like (eg. Earl Grey). You can buy specialty tea bags (like the kind you get at motels and restaurants) and put them in the pockets. Makes a great gift too!
