Vintage Teapot Holder Pattern: Cup & Saucer

Pattern Directions:

Vintage Teapot Holder Pattern

Vintage Teapot Holder Pattern

  • Transfer pattern onto felt material. Cut out felt, cutting along the inner edge of the stamped line. Cut another piece the same size for back. Cut another pair from contrasting felt for the inside facing.
  • Pin the front section over a contrasting facing section and join entire edges together with buttonhole stitch. Use embroidery wool split to half its thickness for all work. Face the back section in same manner.
  • Work all long lines in outline stitch and short lines in single straight stitches. Work flowers in French knots and lazy daisy stitch.
  • All ends of wool may be hidden between the 2 thicknesses of felt by taking a long stitch, pulling thread between the felt to start and clipping wool close when finishing.
  • Join the front and back together around the upper edge starting under the handle (catch stitching the buttonhole edges together with wool) and finishing at corner on opposite side of cup. Leave lower edge of saucer free.

Pattern Printing Directions

  • Download the pattern here: Teapot Holder: Cup & Saucer (jpg file), right click on the image and save to your desktop.
  • Open file to print, pattern should print true to size (original pattern measures just shy of 4″ from top of teacup edge to bottom saucer edge).

    I cannot figure out just what this is supposed to be. How do you use it? Sorry for being so dense! : )

    Instead of a potholder, this is a teapot holder–you use it to rest a pot of tea on or to hold the teapot handle. I haven’t seen many of these but I do have another vintage pattern that I’ll post another time.

    [...] TipNut is sharing a vintage pattern for a vintage craft: a teapot holder. It’s a kind of potholder, intended to protect your hand from the hot handle of the teakettle or teapot. How does it work? The layers of felt are joined everywhere except along the lower edge of the “saucer,” which fits conveniently over the handle. Even if you don’t handle hot kettles or pots, your kitchen probably needs this little accessory just for a spot of cheer. Get the pattern. [...]
