Teabag Wallets


I tell you "teabags" seem to be haunting me. I decided to make some teabag wallets....if anything could go wrong, it did with these. I sewed them right sides together as I should....but when I opened the out the clip was on the wrong side or if it was on the right side the pockets inside were upside down...agghhhh....so I had to unpick five wallets and sew them all up again. Then today I started sewing them together and silly me didn't have right sides together on the first two...so I had to unpick them.....those teabags are coming back to bite me for being so smart!!! Did I tell you all I actually went to the grocery shop and brought 10 Lady Grey teabags just to open one up and confirm there were no pieces of lemon and orange in them? Well I did....they cost me $2.....but I didn't care what the cost I was going to fight for the right to have my teabags from Ros....LOL...and I did. So, those teabags I brought are going inside those wretched teabag wallets...LOL

I made those tea wallets and had an awful time too! By the time I was done, it looked like a kindergarten art project! I was going to give one to my mom for Mother's Day, but I'm sure she's tired of grade school art projects! Good for you that you won your tea party! ;)

I have been reading your tea bag problems. Very interesting! Never would have thought there could be a problem with tea bags and customs.

OK.... so I see ... they are pretty... USELESS to me!!!
Why, oh why, would anyone want to lug teabags around in their handbag????
You are all nuts I tell ya, NUTS!

Neither I did know there could be anything wrong with tea bags and it was verry interesting to know about this. A big hug and thank you so much for those fabulous "friends" swap you organized! Lisa did send me an e-mail she received! Renata.
