1. 1
   

   * First draw and cut out a 7.5 x 21cm (3 x 8inch) rectangle out of your felt.

   * Repeat this on 4 different felt colours.

   **How many you cut out is up to you, but the more you cut out the more 'pockets' you will have at the end.
   I only wanted 4, so only cut out 4 rectangles from 4 different colours.

   
   
2. 2
   

   * Fold the bottom of the rectangle up 8.5 cm/3.5 inch and pin.

   This will be your pocket!

   * Repeat this step on all 4 pockets.

   
   
3. 3
   

   I then cut out a crescent shape at the top of the piece that you just folded up.
   (see picture)

   This makes it easier to remove the teabag :D

   Repeat this on all 'pockets'

   
   
4. 4
   

   I then embroidered some names of the fronts of my 'pockets'

   *Green
   *Nettle
   *Fruit
   *XT

   ('XT' in love of X files- as in 'unknown tea')

   
   
5. 5
   

   Then stitch the sides of the 'pocket'

   I used blanket stitch and used same thread as I used to stitch the name.

   
   
6. 6
   

   Stitch all the pockets together by pinning them and just stitching whip stitch or a simple binding stitch used for books.

   You can just leave the pockets looking like this is you prefer.

   For the front cover I cut some more felt measuring 8.5 x 10.5 cm (3.5 x 4.4 Inches)

   
   
7. 7
   

   I then pinned the front and back cover to the pockets and sewed the binding stitch .

   Be sure to go though all of the layers- this will make the binding strong.

   I started 1/4 from the top then went up then down the spine. This makes the binding stronger also.

   As I said before you could use a simple whip stitch to link all of the layers.

   
   
8. 8
   

   Once all stitched together, sew whatever you want on the front cover.

   
   
9. 9
   

   Then fill up with Tea bags and you're ready to go!
