3-D Fabric Sculpture – Teapot

3D Fabric Teapot © 2007 Diane Duncan
This was a really fun project! I’ve always thought I would do some more of these 3-D fabric sculptures – but make my own patterns. This one was based on a pattern in a Quilting Arts magazine, possibly their Christmas special I think. I have a friend who is very fond of her cuppa tea and so it was made especially for her. The funny thing is, after giving it to her, I never saw it again! In spite of many shared afternoon teas! Oh well!
The ‘fabric’ from which it is constructed is a collage of fabric scraps quilted to Timtex. Some antique beads create the ‘feet’ and wire and special beads are used for the handle and knob.
