Please can you help ?
 
Each year my quilting group hold a big morning tea and everything we raise goes to Breast Cancer Research so far in 10 years we have raised over $45,000 dollars , we have started to do thing for it already ,( it is held in late July ) we were ask by several people last year did we have any potmits , so this year I have decide do cupcake styled ones does anyone know ere I could get a pattern for these , Free would be great but even an idea on how to make them would help , I have lots of little pieces of fabric's I can use .
We are always looking for ideas on what to make for our morning tea , it is the biggest event of the year for us girls and we work all year getting things ready for it , in the hope that one day they will find a cure for this terrible disease so none of our little granddaughters would have to worry they may get it . Thankyou Cathy

Check all people quilt.com I saw a bunch of free patterns on there.

Since it's a morning tea, would there be any interest in teapot covers?

Here is a free tutorial for cupcake oven mitts.

Steampunk is "in" right now... here's some photos of a tea cup holster... yes, you'd wear it as part of your "gear" and could be a novelty that no one else has:

Maybe some mug rugs, coasters and/ or matching placemats.

There are plenty of ideas on the net for making them. Have fun and your group has done a great job of fundraising in the past for this terrible disease.

I have the book Pretty Little Purses and Pouches and it has an adorable teapot little zipper purse pattern. I checked on Amazon and it's cheap. A used book is one penny right now.

Prism99 02-11-2016 11:42 AM

Apparently that Pretty Little is a series of books. Here's one on cozies:
http://www.amazon.com/Pretty-Little-...dp/1600593763/

Are these similar to the teapot zipper purses in the Pretty Little series?
http://patchworkpottery.blogspot.com...shop-news.html

This Pretty Little book is for potholders:
http://www.amazon.com/Pretty-Little-...dp/1600592007/

It's a shame there aren't more photos of the contents of the books on Amazon. You may be able to find some, though, by Googling the book title and then clicking on "images".

Onebyone 02-11-2016 12:00 PM

oops sorry, it's a tea cup not teapot purse pattern. Still adorable! It was one of the reasons I bought the book. Here is a picture of a lot of them. So cute! Who could resist not buying one?

Red Brolly has a free pattern for a tea cup holder. http://red-brolly.com/?s=mug+rug+bag

Wonderful idea , Thank you

I absolutely love that mug/rug/bag from Red Brolly! I have had that on my list for gifts for certain people for quite a while. Co-ordinating fabric with a mug would be such a great gift for a special family member or friend. Don't you think people who don't sew would love to buy them?

garysgal 02-11-2016 07:17 PM

I have about 4 yards of the teapot fabric if you'd be interested in it. Didn't know if it was too literal or not, lol.

I've no idea how 'cupcakes' suddenly became teacups, lol, but Susie Shore has a pot holder pattern - not free I'm afraid.

Thank you so much for you wonderful offer of fabric , but it would cost as much for postage to Australia as it would for the fabric , it is lovey fabric and would make a lovely morning tea project. Thank you.

You are looking for a potholder, cupcake shaped, rather than a mitt?

Hmm - this made me think about the meaning of the OP's meaning of 'potmit'. I took it to mean oven mitt. Pehaps it's a tea cosy? Susie Shore does one of them too!

I do like the look of this cupcake , funny what we call things in different countries' , I didn't think of that when I put up the original post here (Australia ) we call them potmitts , in The USA you call them pot-holder , I do like the idea off the Yo-Yo on the top for the cherry , this another idea I can work with .Thank you .

Don't overdo the tea cozies -- they do NOT sell well! Small wall hangings (one or two block quilts) are fun, and popular in some areas. If you do this every year, try for something different, as repeat customers will buy more if they do not already have it.
