Our dressing tables often get strewn with countless oddments; those items that get worn or used again and again, making putting them away a pointless task. Why not keep them tidy by storing them in these pretty cups and saucers? Your bits and bobs will be easily accessible and, you have to admit, they’ll look positively pretty too!
Sew a teacup
Download the templates, then trace them onto card. Cut six teacup pieces from a variety of printed fabrics, six from coordinating fabric for the lining, followed by another six from lightweight wadding.
Pin and stitch the six printed fabric pieces together with a 5mm seam allowance, then sew the wadding pieces together in the same way. Repeat the process with the lining fabric, but leave a 4cm gap in the centre of one seam for turning.
Place the wadding ‘cup’ over your fist, then slip the outer cup over this, right sides out, and add the lining cup over this, right sides in. Line up the top raw edges and side seams, then stitch around the top edge.
Turn out the outer and wadding cups through the opening in the lining. Slip stitch the gap and push the lining inside the cup, securing with a few small stitches.
