Let Them Eat Cake

This couture piece was made to celebrate the Thread Den Melbourne Fashion Week Killer Queen Extravaganza. The original is available for viewing at the Thread Den store in Errol St North Melbourne.

My apologies for the appalling photo quality - this cosy was finished late at night before I got up to fly to Melbourne at 5am to deliver it in person to Thread Den. There will be better quality pics to follow, but I couldn't resist giving you a little sneak preview!

The cosy is made from cotton yarn, fake pearls, feathers, ribbon, gems, and a crazy beehive do - by far my most extravagant creation to date.

This cosy is available for $290 including the great vintage tea pot - enquiries to Thread Den or email us at functionalart@live.com.au

The sea theme range

I've been inspired to make a range of sea theme cosies - using height, and texture - and pearls of course!

This one uses a crochet star fish as an accent. This photo doesn't quite do justice to the cosy - but I couldn't seem to get the perfect angle. (It is in proportion i reality, just not in this pic!)

More Tassel Cosies

for some reason this cosy pic turned out tiny, but if you click on it, you can see it in full view.

This is a copy of my original (and most popular) crochet cosy design. These cosies are available in a range of colours, just email me for more info, or to put in a colour request!

An early crochet experiment

This was another of my first experiments with creating my own tea cosy designs. It's a little crochet number using scraps of yarn left over from other projects - i hate to waste good yarn.

I always really liked this one, and am still tempted to take it off the sale list and keep it for myself - Liv

Item No. 4 - SOLD

My first Monster!

So this is where tea cosy making starts to get weird. This was an experiment looking at the possibilities of creating a tea cosy softie, and he's a funny little fella. He was recently in the daily fashion parade at the Brisbane Stitches and Craft Show for the Thread Den stall - apparently nobody had ever heard of a monster tea cosy before, so they decided to show him off.

I still haven't decided on the perfect name for him yet, any suggestions? - Liv

Liv's beginnings

To begin at the beginning.












This was my first attempt at a tea cosy. Well, second attempt really, but mum liked the first attempt so much she made off with it, and refuses to give it back.

This is a little crochet number, fits a medium sized pot - Liv
