Fabric Tea Sets

I just love the look of fabric tea party sets and I think my darling daughter would love one!
Here are some I found online.



Lilian Vernon has these two fabric tea sets that are too cute.



Check out these adorable tea sets made by Jodi at her Ric Rac Blog.

Here is one at Pottery Barn, which is sadly no longer available.

Here is a cute little set, perfect for taking to the park.



I would love to sew our own tea set, but I haven't found a pattern.
If you know of one, please leave me a comment with a link to the source, I'd sure appreciate it.

Recent Projects


I sell my embellished jean jackets at a local gift shop. The jackets are bought used or pre-owned although most are in new condition. I then hand knit cuffs and collars using fun combinations of yarns. The knitted pieces are hand stitched to the jacket. Often appliques are added.

Craft Items at Ramshackled Treasures



These are items I have made and have on consignment at Ramshackled Treasures. Knitting and felting are relaxing and rewarding for me. How the yarn changes once felted is a marvel and the texture is never the same.

Summer Sewing For Noray




I found this fabric while out shopping with my Aunt and my Gramma.
We don't usually have character stuff as we watch little TV and do not have cable or satellite. However, Noray was given a Strawberry Shortcake doll and blanket for her 1st birthday and she loves them.

She sleeps with them both at night and has to be covered with her blanket no matter how warm it is.
She calls Strawberry Shortcake "Cookie".
I thought it would be fun to sew up some summer clothes with this light cotton fabric.


This sweet fabric is a bright sunny yellow. It says, "Jesus and me", "He is Love", "He gives me friends that make me laugh."
.

This is the pattern I plan to use for shorts and shirts.
I'll also be making sundresses and matching bloomers. Noray loves dresses and wears one nearly every day..
