My friend has to drink decaf tea & so when she took a long vacation trip, I made one of these, so as she could enjoy her tea in resturants. She says it is so handy & always has it in her purse even here at home. A great gift.

Thanks for the tute.

Your so welcome. Please post pictures of your tea wallets.. I would love to see everyones twist on the pattern!

Great idea, whenever we got for dinner at the children's house they never have regular tea, my husband doesn't care for flavored teas and tisanes, so I will definetly sew one. It's also great for travelling, I recently when to Italy and I carried some tea bags in a ziplock, not too great for a sewer. I will post a pic when it's done
Thanks a million for your tutorial

I liked these when you first posted a picture and I was so glad to see this tute posted. They are perfect Christmas gifts for the girls in my Red Hat group. After reading the other ideas, I also want to make one for a good friend who always carries Crystal Light with her. Hope I can do it.
THANK YOU AGAIN SO MUCH.

Love your teabag holder tut! Thank-you for sharing. These would make great little Christmas stocking stuffers for friends.

I have heard of people having little fold up wallets like this for their pull tabs and little extra cards at BINGO. I asked my MIL about it. She said she (being a bingo player) would love something like that. Going to have her bring me cards home so I can test out the size and make one for her.

Very cute. Plan to make some--just have not had the time yet.

seweasy 10-14-2010 07:22 PM

Thanks so much for writing this tutorial and taking great pictures. I like coffee and sometimes the resturants do not have decaf coffee, have to have the "unleaded" at night. So I carry the Folgers' Decaf coffee bags and ask for a cup of hot water. I'll be making a coffee bag for me. Chris

I loved this - read it this morning and made one this afternoon!!!

Great tutorial thank you so much for sharing and working it all out!!

mommamac 10-26-2010 10:00 AM

great for my tea loving friends who visit with tea bags in baggies.
thanks

elsieirene 10-26-2010 04:04 PM

This is great, absolutely great! I have a daughter in-law that drinks herbal tea. This is a great gift for her and she will love it. She can carry her tea bags to work and on her out of town trips.
What a great gift giver for friends & family.
Thank you for taking the time to share with all of us.

mmonohon 10-27-2010 09:40 PM

I made two today in less than an hour and a half. They are great. Only used one fat quarter per wallet.

sahm4605 10-28-2010 07:17 AM

is it just my mom and I that have this happen to us, but when you go to a restaurant and ask for hot water, do they bring it in a glass? we have had this happen so many times that we have started to ask for tea with out the teabags. they then look at us like we are the thing from the black lagoon. hehe it is funny and frustrating. I have made three of these bags for my mom and she absolutely loves them!!! no more plastic baggies for her or loosing them in her purse.

mamabird3 10-28-2010 11:44 AM

So glad you are getting good use from this fabric. I think I might combine it with mug rugs and "WA-LA" Christmas gifts!!

quilter711 11-05-2010 05:43 PM

I need some help!
I can't get the part for the second set of pockets: "on the unsewn edge, fold up 5" and then fold back 2 1/2". Press and then sew 1/4" seam at the top of the pocket like the other side. Can someone help with this?

Thx,
Nancy

Yea! I got it! Sometimes you just need to keep folding! I will try to post pics for the first time.
