Tea Cozy

At a recent sewing guild meeting, Val Saholsky showed us a charming collection of tea cozies.  Some tied to the tea pot to keep it warm and others just sat over it until needed.  I started thinking about my plain pink tea pot at home and how much it would really like a cozy!  I started my cozy using Val's pattern, but quickly realized that my pot is much smaller and the handle is on top instead of off the back.  I had to modify the pattern.  I did use her instructions of placing padding in the bottom like a hot pad.  I used wool scraps for the pad.

The ties run through casings.
