pattern: tea and scandal

here’s a project that’s very close to my heart.
as many of you know, i collect teacups. i adore my collection - it’s full of intricate designs, beautiful colours, and delicate patterns, and it’s been the inspiration for my latest embroidery pattern:



“they retired to their tea and scandal, according to their ancient custom”
- william congreve



i’ve chosen to hang the individual teacups in their own little hoops, but they would also look very cute in little frames, or used to make a set of greeting cards.


this is my favourite of my designs so far! if you like it too, you can buy a copy of it from my etsy shop.

bottoms up!
