A Tea Cosy Makeover

 

After deciding that my tea cosy had to go, and now, I decided to simply recover my old one.

 

Upon digging through my china cabinet drawers I came across this old linen t-towel I'd bought at a thrift shop.

 

I made a pattern out of card board from my old tea cosy.

 



Next I cut a front and a back piece from the vintage linen t-towel and two pieces of brown cotton for the liner.

 

After sewing both on the sewing machine, I attached the liner inside the old tea cosy and the print on the outside and attached both by hand stitching.

This could have been done on the machine but I didn't want any stitch lines showing on the fabric.

 



This is what I came up with.

 

Here are some of the additional recipes that were on the linen.

 

Does anyone know what dialect this is?

Notice moisten is moiften and sweet is fweet?

 







Infide for inside and is Wild Goofe, Wild Goose?

 

 

Lastly, an old-fashioned Corn Fritter recipe.
