My little cup of tea,



This is my last portable project, started on the ferry bringing us back from Le Havre, France, at Easter. The journey was over 5 hours so I had plenty of time, nothing else really to do on a ferry, and no restriction about scissors or needles like on planes.



This was made almost all the way by hand in consequence, except yesterday when I finished it with my machine.



This is my second one, the first one having been given away, as soon as it was finished. But this new one so far I wish to keep.



I know if I was to do another one, it would be wider and not so tall, so that you could easily reach what is at the bottom. We'll see if it happens.



So this little purse is hand quilted, with a zip, a label on the pull that says "TEA", and completely lined.
Oh and the real tea cup is one of ours and comes from Russia. I bought it for my husband when we were still living in France, but we don't use it so much now. Just mugs most of the time.

That's really cute. And it was funny for me to see this fabric. I have 2 rolls of the stuff! I need to get sewing!
