5.  STITCH CENTER LINE

When you are satisfied with the spacing of your gathers, stitch along the center line, using a regular stitch length. This will hold the gathers securely.

For viewing purposes, center stitched line is shown in red and gather lines have been enhanced.

6.  STITCH CASINGS /
   ENDS


Turn under each open end 1/4" to create a hem. Press sides and open ends.

For those using batting:
Stuff batting into each side; do not stuff past your casing areas.

Stitch two open ends closed, stitching very close to edge.
stitch casings and ends


Stitch two lines for casings on each end of the piece, using the dots on the lining side as a guide. Your casing lines should be on each side of the holes you left open in step 3.

Stitch lines are shown in white.


7.  STITCH SIDES

Fold the tea cozy so that it is wrong side out (lining is on outside). Make a mark 2" from the base. Stitch from base to mark, close to the edge. Repeat on the other side.

8.  RUN RIBBON THROUGH

Using a safety pin on one end, run the ribbon through one end of your cozy (through one casing) and then on around through the other casing. Insert tea pot, handle first; tie ribbon in front.

FINISHED POT

When tested, our cozy only lost 10 degrees in over 30 minutes, and the water was still warm a couple of hours later.
