Making a cover for a teapot handle and July’s page is done.
I have a teapot I really like, it has good balance and is easy to pour from. I like it, except that it has a metal handle that gets hot resting on the teapot.
I decided to make a cover for the handle. I did it for another teapot years ago. Here is the link to it https://feltingandfiberstudio.com/2016/07/18/a-busy-week-2/
I made 4 thin layers. 2 thicker ones would have been good for this small project but I can’t layout thicker without really working on it. I got a nice firm felt at 50% shrinkage.
Once it was the right size, I rolled it into a tube to dry. The silk pops so nicely once it is dry
The only thing left is to sew it onto the teapot. I used some thick, black cotton thread and whip stitched it on
And here it is. 
The funny thing in the lid handle is part of the original messy background I couldn’t get rid of. I made a cup of tea right after finishing and it worked perfectly, no more burnt fingers.
The other thing I finished today is my July Page of slow stitch on felt. No hidden meanings this month, just some random designs.
