How to Dress a Teapot
(with an adorable Vermont Apron Company Teacozy)
By Susannah Allen
(We would like to suggest that you read and practice with an empty Teapot until complete expertise and dexterity in Teapot dressing has been achieved. We find it only takes a few tries and you,too, will become a role model for Teapot dressing in your area!)
Let's Begin our Lesson in Teapot Dressing!
Teacozy Step #1 -Untie the pretty ribbons and lay out your teacozy on a flat surface.(You don't actually need a doily, it just makes everything prettier)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Teacozy Step #2- Next, Set out your teapot of choice and position the Teacozy so that the spout is poking itself through the opening of the two panels, just like in this photo.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Teacozy Step #3- Next bring the sides around the Teapot to meet at the handle.Take the bottom two ribbons in hand and tighten them enough to snug along the bottom of the teapot but NOT go under it. We want the bottom of the Teapot to remain on the table surface.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Teacozy Step #4- Make a pretty bow at the bottom under the handle.Then take the top ribbons in hand and gently begin to gather the top of the teacozy, just like in this photo.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Teacozy step #5- Pulling the ribbons tightly, tie your second pretty bow above the handle, just like in this photo.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Here is a view from the top.
The teacozy is snug enough to cover the teapot
but still allows steam to escape.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Your Dressed-and-Ready-for-Action Teapot should look just like this photo...
(except maybe its wearing a different print, it is nice to dress seasonly.)
