Welcome once again, dear readers as we follow Jodie, the ever-optimistic crafter, in her continuing search for the perfect teacup.
Today saw our much harangued sewer delve once again into the teacup debacle that she has been studiously ignoring for a week.
This teacup dear readers in now in its 9th incarnation.
At this point things are looking good, but what you can't see readers, is the four different bases sewn and unpicked and the three different handles .
At the right angle, you can however, see the pin!

Well it looks great, but you need a few of them scattered about so they look they grew there like some exotic teacup and saucer plant. The handle on this one looks great.
You could leave the base off and just stitch the cup to the saucer!! A tricksy teacup.
i think it looks absolutley darling...
ready for a very sweet tea party...
OH!!! I want one! It looks amazing (even with the pin!!!!!)

Funny tea!
Very sweet. You sure are persistent and determined to say the least! Worth all the effort though this is too cute.
I smiled as soon as I saw your post title on bloglines, guessing what a delight was in store. I especially like the little button detail under the handle. What a clever chook you are.
I have the most inappropriate security word to verify: "angst"
Love It Love It Love It Will be there soon for my Cup of Tea LOL.
Hugs Mary.
The patchwork effect is exquisite! Do you ever want to just chop things up and chuck them away after unpicking so many times? You must have the patience of a saint...and then some!
it is so sweet, made me smile, I LOVE the colours!!
Is that the Hallaluiah chorus I hear you singing...?
It's just delightful. I love the new handle, too.
I love it - such a perfect shape - everything look sbetter in patchwork! You will have to make some tiny ones next that are sized for your dolls!
I have to say, I am a huge tea drinker and I love the teacup. But one question, will it hold tea?? LOL
Is one able to request a particular clourway in the patchwork in preparation for one's visit?
practice makes perfect! I love it!
I don't care about the pin - it's fab is what it is! x
PS My word verification is 'cowdod' ... I'm liking this very much.
I admire your perserverence. I'd have thrown it out the window by now. I LOVE it and all things tea. I missed the last post...DARLING kitty.
these are so sweet and wonderful. I would love to have one or five!
I think it looks great.. though I'm no expert at sewing, I have one robot embroidered cushion and a scrap owl to my name, or to my blog whichever you prefer.
I like the handle on this and I think they would look really cute stacked up together.. in a haphazard Mad Hatter's tea party sort of way... but thats just me..
Oh, how charming! And my favorite part is the button handle. So sweet, such great colors. Am really ready for a tea party!! Where or where can we buy these delightful little things??
That is one amazing teacup!
I absolutely love the teacup! How awesome it would be to have several! I admire your hard work!
Oh, it is just adorable! I love it!
My verification word is swootio. Your cuppa is just swootio! Ha ha!
Jodie-
I just discovered your blog through sew mama sew - it is fabulous. Your stuff is so great! I am going to spend some time browsing through your tutorials now. I added you to my favorites list.

I think it looks terrific. Love the green handle.
Nicely done, Miss Jodie! Love the new handle, and your colors are the best.
Looking good. Congratulations on your persistence. I'm having a similar challenge with knitting lace but I'll get there [at least the pattern already exists!]
it's beautiful - sew you are like a dog with a bone with this project! you practice and perserverence have truely paid off!
Love it Jodie. Can I have a cup of tea now??
ready to teach me HOW so I can have one toooooooo?
It looks great, Jodie. I especially love the handle!
Hi Jodie! I just came across your blog. It's so creative and fun! I am not crafty but have resolved to become so in the next few months. This blog is great inspiration! You need to get some items up on your etsy site! :)
Love these teacups. My little family just moved abroad from the US and have fallen in love with drinking more tea.
It looks just perfect! All it needs is a coockie!
It's going to be very very brilliant!
First shot looks fantastic. I'd say a good weekend's work.
It is now looking very nice. Creation, takes time and practice and I am glad you are showing us, your readers how you go about it...
Just gorgeous-love the fabric you chose. Can't wait fot the whole dinner set!!!
You did it!!!!! Nice. (are you going to fill them with nice things?)Love your new kitty too
It is really sweet Jodie. I love it. Do you plan on putting out a pattern for these? I'd love to make one. I love how you've attached the handle with the button. The cup and saucer is such a great idea.
I do like the thinner handle! Makes your cup look more posh, bone china compared to stoneware if you will.
crazy girl or what.........now I do like the teacup but what on earth made you think that you might like to make one.........
Love it, Love it!
Rigalene in the handle?

If there were an award for 'The World's Most Tenacious Crafter' you would undoubtedly win hands down!!!
Your teacup has evolved beautifully :-)

This is lovely. One thing: please refer to your self as a seamstress! I don't think you should call yourself a sewer, these do not stink!! ;)
They look so great, clever you!
this is cool!
Amazing! You are a creative whirlwind!!!
