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
* 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
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
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
Then stitch the sides of the 'pocket'
I used blanket stitch and used same thread as I used to stitch the name.
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
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
Once all stitched together, sew whatever you want on the front cover.

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