| | | This Week in Needlecrafts | | With the cold blast that’s blanketing a lot of the United States right now, people are looking for all sorts of ways to keep warm, including drinking warm beverages. These crafts are great gifts for the coffee or tea drinker in your life or to make for yourself. Happy crafting! | | | | | Tea Bag Wallet Patterns | | If you’re a tea drinker, you know you can’t always find your favorite brew everywhere you go. If you like to carry bags of your favorite teas with you, a sewn wallet is a great way to keep them from getting lost in your bag. | | | | | | Two-Color Knit Coffee Cup Cozy | | Because this coffee cup cozy has an odd number of stitches, you just keep alternating colors for each stitch all the way around, round after round to make this checkered pattern. The colorwork is way easier than it looks and adds a second layer of protection for your hands. | | | | | | Crochet a French Press Cozy | | A lot of my friends prefer a French press, but the problem is the coffee gets cold faster because there’s no heating element. One way to solve that problem is to crochet a cozy for your press. | | | | | | How to Tea-Dye Fabric | | This tutorial specifically talks about using tea to dye cross stitch fabric, but you can use the same method on other fabrics used for different projects. | | | | | | | | | |  You are receiving this newsletter because you subscribed to the About Needlecrafts newsletter.
