Pin It

I'm extremely excited to show off my first pattern. I took the idea from the previous teacups I've made from patterns that I slightly altered. But this one I re-invented and added so much to it!
It make a life-size teacup now.
I made this for my boyfriend's Nan. She loves tea and has a brown and tan living room. So I wanted to make it brown, but added blue to make it interesting. I love how it came out. I hope she loves it as much as I do!
Here are some images of the teacup itself and the pattern will follow the photos.
Before I added the bottom rim:


Here you can see the bottmo and bottom rim better.




I originally found a pattern for a teacup bookmark, I used that to make a few keychains. Well then I altered it so much, that I consider it mine. I made a medium sized teacup and made my own pattern. I wrote it all down. So here it is. If you don't understand please leave a comment and I'll try to help out as much as I can!
