TEA COSIES.
Most attractive tea cosies can be made from chamois leather, -which will keep the teapot far hotter than the usual kinds do. Two pieces of chamois leather should be obtained and cut to the desired shapes. No hems arc necessary, as the edges can be finished with blanket stitches in attractive colours. Join the top and sides in the same way. An old tea cosy can be slipped inside this cover, or each piece of chamois leather can be lined and stuffed before joining the two pieces together. Small pieces of brightly coloured leather or felt can be cut into flower or conventional shapes and appliqued on to the cosy for decoration. The work may be carried out with coloured raffia or thick wool.
