Total Time: 30 minutes

Yield: one tray cloth

Supplies:

Tea is Served! - Tea Tray Cloth - line drawing of teapot
 

Steps:

  1. Wash the linen and rinse it thoroughly in cold water to remove any sizing agent from the material. Note: Do not add fabric softener when rinsing the linen. Allow the linen to dry and iron it thoroughly before continuing with the next step.
  2. Fold the linen 0.2" from the edge and iron it down neatly to keep the fold in place. Repeat on the other three sides. Then, fold the linen a second time on each side, folding it 0.6" from the edge and sew a double fold hem all around the linen. This will prevent the tray cloth from fraying.

  4. Use the pencil and ruler, and measure a rectangle sized 12" x 8.4" in the centre of the cloth. Then, use the black pen to draw over the pencil lines ~ do not use the ruler when doing this.
  5. Use the light table and a pencil to transfer five tea pots to the cloth. Then, use the black Giotto pen to draw over all the pencil lines.
