Sewing Machine Cover, originally uploaded by jenib320. I didn't have a lot of homework this weekend so I had some time to sew! I accumulated a lot of new scraps from making my quilt so I decided to use some of them up with a new project! I was inspired by this lovely Sewing Machine Cover and decided to make one for myself! I hadn't originally planned to add a border but I didn't cut enough squares and I didn't feel like cutting any more. I use my machine pretty regularly so I'm not really too concerned about dust. However, my sewing table is directly across from the door to my apartment so it's pretty much the first thing you see when you walk in the door. I figured that was a good enough excuse to make a pretty cover for it. I am really enjoying patchwork at the moment, I can't wait to start working on another patchwork project.

Here's a step-by-step guide to sewing a tea wallet. It's a good way to use up scraps. Enjoy! Materials: Two different patterns of cotton fabric light interfacing one snap sewing machine iron needle and thread The wallet is made of five parts: The outside material (piece A), the inside material (also piece A), the two inside pockets (pieces B and C) and a little strap to fasten the wallet together (not pictured below). The body of the wallet is 6.5 inches wide x 4 inches tall. The first pocket is 6.5"x 3" The second pocket is 6.5" x 2.5" The little strap is made from the outside material and it's 1.5" x 3" The first thing you'll need to do is iron on some light interfacing to the inside parts of the wallet, namely the inside A pattern and the B and C patterns. It's up to you what material you use for the pockets, but I like pocket B to be made of the outside material and pocket C to be made of the inside material. Cut the interfacing for patterns A, B and C and iron the shiny side of the interfacing to the wrong side of the fabric. Turn down the top edge of pockets B and C and iron flat. Sew a straight stitch across the top edge of each pocket. Arrange pocket C on top of pocket B, which is on top of inside piece A. Baste along the side edges of the pockets. Fold these basted pieces in half and iron. Make a stitch along the ironed line from the base of the wallet to the top of pocket B, making sure to backstitch. This creates a dividing line between each side of the wallet. Next, you'll make the little strap. Iron in the long edges of the strap and then fold the piece in half and iron. Basically, you're making a small piece of bias tape. Sew along the ironed edge of the tape. Sew one side of a snap to the outside piece of pattern A, about an inch inward. Place the raw edge of the little strap on the opposite edge of the outside pattern A, facing inward. Pin outside piece A to inside piece A, right sides together and sew all around the edge, leaving a 2-inch space open at the top of the wallet, closer to the snap side. Trim the edges of the wallet except for the top edge. Turn right side out and iron flat. Sew the opening shut, very close to the edge. Next, place the tea bags and sugar packets in the wallet and figure out how long the little strap should be in order to reach around to the snap on the body of the wallet. Trim the strap accordingly, fold under the raw edge, then fold it again and sew it down. My machine didn't feel like sewing this part, so its easier to hand sew for me. Finally, sew the other side of the snap to the inside of the little strap. Ta-da!
Today, I'm going to try my hand at writing a tutorial for what I call a Twelve Bag Tea Wallet. A friend asked me to do this at a retreat back in February, but it's taken me until now to collect the photos and write it up. I will be linking this to Quilt Shop Gal's Creative Goodness Linky Party for this week. If you enjoy these sort of crafty, creative posts, check it out. So many creative ideas! Now to the job at hand! Twelve Bag Tea Wallet Supply List Fat Quarter of Cotton Fabric Matching Thread Button or snap for closure. If using snap, two small pieces of interfacing Small hair elastic if desired to use with button Marking pen of your choice (I use chalk on dark fabrics and water eraseable on light) Usual implements for cutting and pinning and a sewing machine. Instructions Make the body of the wallet Sew along the raw 15 ½” edge, using a ¼” seam to form a tube. From your fat quarter, cut a rectangle 15 ½” by 20 ½”. Fold fabric crosswise in half, right sides together; press. The rectangle is now 10 ¼” by 15 ½” Sew along the raw 15 ½” edge, using a ¼” seam to form a tube. Open the tube and line up the seam with the crease that is opposite it, so that the seam is in the middle of the rectangle. Press this flat, pressing the seam open, as in the photo. (This is important to avoid excessive thickness on the outside edges of the finished pockets.) Sew one of the 10 ½” raw edges using a ¼” seam backstitching at the beginning and end.. On the opposite 10 ½” raw edge, mark (or use a pin to mark) 3 ½” from each edge. You will leave the area between the marks open for turning. Sew from each edge to the mark, backstitching at the beginning and end of each seam. Clip all corners as in the photo. Turn the rectangle right side out and press, making sure to make sure all corners are square and the seams are straight. Don’t worry about sewing the opening that you used for turning shut. It will be sewn when we put in the closure. With the center seam running vertically so you can see it, turn up both short sides by 3 ½”. Press well. Now take the flaps you just folded up and fold them back outward, matching the edges with the folded edge. Press well. This makes 1 ¾” deep pockets. Pin the pockets in place so that they don’t slide during the sewing. Mark a line 3” from the side edges. These marks should be parallel to the center seam. You will sew along this seam to divide the wallet into three sections. Topstitch along the side edges (parallel to the center seam). Use a ¼” or less seam and backstitch at the beginning and end. (Don’t mark or sew the top and bottom sides.) Go slowly over the thick areas of the pockets. A walking foot is helpful here.Similarly, sew along the lines you marked, backstitching at each end as before. The body of the wallet is made. Make the Closure In the picture at the top of this post, there are 3 options for closing the wallet. Option 1: Hair elastic and button Cut a small hair elastic (or a piece of a larger one) so that you can more easily fold it in half. Insert the cut ends into the outside pocket in the top of the wallet body. Topstitch the opening close to the edge, bacstitching over the elastic to reinforce it. Topstitch the center opening of the opposite edge as well. Sew a button to the outside of this side (opposite the elastic), being careful not to sew the pocket closed. (Sew only through the outside layer.) Option 2: Loop and button Make the loop by cutting a 1 ¼” by 4” strip from the leftover fabric. Fold this in half lengthwise and press. Open the strip and fold the sides into the center fold and press, then fold again down the center and press well, giving you a strip that is ⅜” by 4”. Fold the strip in half so that it forms a v shape at the point, as shown in the picture. Proceed as for the hair elastic, using this strip instead. Option 3: Snap For this option, you will need to cut four flap pieces from your leftover fabric about 4” by 3” and two pieces of interfacing the same size. I used fusible fleece rather than interfacing, because I had it handy. Use whatever, you just need to reinforce the flaps so that they can hold up to snapping and unsnapping the flaps. The picture to the left is not to scale due to the constraints of my software. Use it to draft your own pattern, but be sure to mark the snap position in the center top area. To cut the flaps, I stack the fabric right sides together and rotary cut it so that all 4 flaps are the same. Iron (or baste or glue) the interfacing to one of each pair. Install the snap according to package instructions if it’s a magnetic snap, or sew it in if it’s an old-fashioned snap, into the side with the interfacing, measuring and marking carefully to place both of the pieces of the snap so that they will match up. Once the snap is installed in each pair, put the flaps right side together and sew ¼” around the outside, leaving one side open for turning. Turn right side out and topstitch. Insert the first flap into the top outside pocket and then sew close to the edge, closing the middle pocket and sewing in the flap. Second flap attached, but not inserted. Attach the other side of the snap, then insert the other flap into the opposite (bottom) outside pocket and pin in place. (This is to insure that the snaps will line up.) Unsnap and sew the bottom center section close to the edge to attach the flap and close the outside center pocket. Second flap inserted and pinned in place ready to sew To use the wallet, put tea bags and/or sweetener packets as desired into pockets. Fold one side to center, then the other. Fold the bottom up to the top and snap. Enjoy!
Follow along with this tutorial to sew up a tea wallet for carrying inside your purse and taking on the go. Makes a great gift.

That is not a typo in the title. You really can make Christmas gifts for less than $2 per gift. In some cases, for free except for the time and love you put into making
This handy tea bag holder project is ideal for taking your favourite teas on holiday.
Maddi and I love herbal teas and when the weather turns cold and miserable, she prefers to drink tea at Uni, instead of bottled water. The cafeteria offers green tea but not some of our other favorites, so she needed something pretty to pack her tea bags in........therefore I designed her a Tea Bag Wallet and now its a new free pattern for you to try as well: She can throw this in her handbag and have a selection of her favorite herbal teas on hand, helping her to keep focused and relaxed during those long hours of study. To make this Tea Bag Wallet you will need: - 17cm main outer fabric - 17cm lining fabric - scraps of fabric for stars - 10cm white homespun for stars - iron on pellon (6 1/2" x 8 1/2") - 1 x button - 3 1/2" piece of hat elastic - quilting cotton - matching cottons for top stitching - general sewing supplies To get started, you will need to make three star blocks for the front of the wallet. The following instructions are for ONE star block only: From the white homespun cut: - 4 x 1" squares (A) - 1 x 2 1/4" square cut diagonally twice to yield 4 triangles (B) From your chosen fabric scraps cut: - 4 x 1 3/8" squares cut diagonally to yield 8 triangles (C) - 1 x 1 1/2" square (D) 1. Arrange the cut pieces according to the following diagram: 2. Sew a (C) triangle to one short side of each of the white homespun (B) triangles, pressing seams towards the dark fabric. 3. Sew the remaining (C) triangles to the opposite side of the white homespun (B) triangles, pressing seams towards the dark fabric, to make 4 flying geese units which should measure 1" x 1 1/2" when complete. 4. Sew one of these flying geese units to two alternate sides of the (D) square, pressing seams towards the square. 5. Sew a white homespun (A) square to either short side of the two remaining flying geese units, pressing seams towards the white homespun square. 6. Sew one of these units to the top and bottom of the centre unit, pressing seams open to alleviate bulk, to complete your star block which should measure 2 1/2" square. Make three of these blocks. From your main outer fabric cut: - 1 x 5 1/2" x 6 1/2" rectangle - 1 x 1 1/2" x 6 1/2" strip 7. Sew the three star blocks together to form a row which should measure 2 1/2" x 6 1/2" when complete. 8. Sew the 1 1/2" x 6 1/2" strip to the bottom of the star blocks, pressing seam towards the strip. 9. Sew the 5 1/2" x 6 1/2" rectangle to the top of the star blocks, pressing seam towards the rectangle. Your wallet front should now measure 6 1/2" x 8 1/2". 10. Fuse the piece of iron on pellon to the back of the wallet front with a hot iron and quilt as desired. I chose to stipple my wallet front using a co-coordinating quilting thread. 11. Position the button, in the centre of the bottom strip, just below the star block seam (as pictured above) and sew securely. 12. Fold the 3 1/2" piece of hat elastic in half and with raw edges together, position in the centre of the back of the wallet, leaving a small tail beyond the raw edge (as pictured above). Sew across the elastic, three or four times, using a scant 1/8" seam to secure into position. From the lining fabric cut: - 1 x 6 1/2" x 8 1/2" rectangle (main lining) - 2 x 6" x 6 1/2" rectangles (pockets) 13. With wrong sides together, fold the pockets in half to yield two strips 3" x 6 1/2" and press. 14. Top stitch 1/4" along the fold, using matching thread. 15. Mark the centre point (3 1/4") of each strip, using either a hera marker or chalk pencil and pin pockets to the main lining. 16. Sew down the marked line in the centre of each pocket, using matching thread. 17. Sew around the three raw edges of the pocket, a scant 1/8" to secure to the main lining. 18. With right sides together, pin the lining to the wallet front and sew around all four sides, leaving a 3-4" opening on one side for turning. 19. Clip corners and turn wallet to the right side, pressing out corners. Press the wallet well and ensure the seams of the opening are pressed inside. 20. Top stitch around the wallet, a scant 1/8" to secure (this will close the opening). 21. Slip tea bags into the pockets, fold wallet in half and secure the elastic loop over the button to complete your Tea Bag Wallet: I hope you enjoy this free pattern, its a great rainy day project. Maddi was thrilled with hers and it comfortably holds eight of her favorite tea bags; quite enough for a day at Uni. I made one for myself also, to throw in my bag for craft days and visits with family and friends and can see a few more being made in the near future. They would make lovely gifts and you could add a few boxes of herbal tea to make it extra special. Time to put the kettle on :)
I have had a blast this weekend making little Tea Wallets! They are quick and easy and would lend themselves well to mass production if you are so inclined. Step 1. Cut 4 pieces of fabric 5" x 7" (if you want to put credit cards in them, you will want to go 5" x 8") Cut 1 piece of interfacing the same size. Cut 1 piece of fabric for your closure 1 1/2" x 6" or use a piece of ribbon or elastic if you wish. Once you make one, you can change it up as you need. Step 2. Take two pieces of the fabric and fold in half length wise and press, now top stitch along the folded edge. Step 3. Place the interfacing behind one of the remaining pieces of 5" x 7" fabric and line up one of your "pocket" folded pieces 1 inch from the bottom and stitch in place along the bottom only of that "pocket". Step 4. Place the next pocket, again with the folded edge to the top, raw edges placed along the bottom of your wallet and again stitch in place along that raw edge on the bottom only. Step 5. Line a ruler up, half the width of your piece, in this case 3 1/2 " and make a mark on the pockets with either disappearing ink or chalk (something that can be erased or removed easily) this will be your stitching line for the pockets, you do not need to stitch all the way to the top. Step 6. Take your narrow strip and fold it in half length wise, press. Now fold the raw edges into the center of the fold and press again so that you have created a finished strip. Place them straddling the bottom pocket as shown below and stitch in place. Have your fold the way you want the closure to look as it will not change direction or shape when the wallet is completed. Step 7. Place your remaining piece of fabric on top right sides together, pin your corners and if necessary, your edges, then stitch around all sides leaving a 2-3 inch space at the bottom for turning. Step 7. Trim the corners carefully and turn the wallet through the opening at the bottom. I use the blunt end of a bamboo skewer to pop out the corners, you can use a knitting needle, just be careful not to puncture the fabric. Press and top stitch close to the edge. Step 8. Stitch a button to the front side for the closure...I have yet to decide what I want to use as a button for this one. Here are some other wallets I made this weekend...
