A Tea Bag Holder

 After making one of these tea bag holders for my friend a few month’s ago,
which you can see HERE, she asked if I could make another for one for
one of her tea drinking friends.
These are really handy to keep in your handbag to use when out and about.
I used a free YouTube tutorial from Claire at Beautiful Things 
which can be found HERE 

The fabrics I used were Aldi fat quarters.

The colours look much better in real life...the button I used

was pink, and not bright red!
