Tea purse!

My friend is a true tea connoisseur and always carries her much loved tea bags around with her. She usually carries them in a plastic bag so I thought I could make her a little pretty purse to carry them instead...

I adapted a pattern from a past Craftseller magazine which was an iPhone case. I really liked the bias binding and round corners which the case had so kept these but used a metal snap instead of a button (for those tea emergencies when there isn't the time to unfasten a button!). I recently bought the snap fastens on a shopping trip and was excited to try them out.

And here is what it looks like...

 

 

 

 

 

 

I was really happy with the results and the purse could be used for anything really. I also love the fabrics and felt colours and think they match beautifully.

The sewing line on the bias is a little off but at least it shows it truly is homemade and I'll get better with time...

Happy Saturday! Xx
