Making a Steampunk Teacup Holster ft. Winter teatime with the birdies

In one of my more wacky, less practical adventures, I ventured into the world of teacup holsters. This is a great stash-busting project, and fun for fantastical adventures where a cup of tea is sure to be required.
(also, I’m in the process of learning how to edit in DaVinci Resolve after 2 years with Lightworks, so if there’s anything off about the edits in this video...it’s a learning curve work in progress)

What a lovely bit of whimsy!

Most insane thing I’ve ever seen stitched, and I’m 100% here for it!😂

Wonderful video. Just want to comment that the spoon loops are pressed in half, then the raw edges are folded into the center and then they are pressed again before being topstitched on both sides. There is a diagram in the pattern. The spoon loops will then be about 1/2" wide. A good substitute for fusible fleece (fusible lightweight polyester batting) is regular batting. A good substitute for the fusible foam batting would be two layers of batting cut to same size as teacup pocket (one layer of regular batting in place of the foam batting is not enough - you need two layers of regular batting to achieve the same thickness of padding and the same look).

This is the single most slay thing I’ve ever seen

Haha love it! Why be a regular adventurer when you can be a ~fancy~ adventurer 😊

[@HalflingSeamstress]

Exactly!!

[@jennglow4647]

Excellent work! I love this!!

[@HalflingSeamstress]

😄Thank you!

[@skolljumper]

I love the glitter nail polish. I would have definitely gotten it on the fabric ha ha

[@HalflingSeamstress]

I nearly did lol! Very careful little strokes :)

[@christenaeriksen]

I loved how your "cozy" turned out!

[@HalflingSeamstress]

Thank you!

[@SherylFZsmom]

I'm so glad you showed all the pressing. When I first began sewing, I didn't press between steps, and it really made things look less finished, and more homemade. Pressing matters. good work. Love steampunk.

[@HalflingSeamstress]

You're very welcome! Not gonna lie, I was like that when I first started out too - it's kind of a pain to stop and press, but it does make all the difference!

[@louiselund2419]

I love i, its not practical, but pretty ❤❤

[@HalflingSeamstress]

Thank you! Definitely not practical, but very pretty and fun!

[@KathrynsRavens]

I like how your tea cup coordinates with the colour of your holster! Also, Stroopwaffel!

[@HalflingSeamstress]

Thank you! I hadn't planned it, but when I was picking which teacup to use, it was the obvious choice!

[@sewcute_sewvintage]

Very cute!

[@KarenSueWalkerAuthor]

I’m making this rn using the same pattern. Sooooo many steps, but the pattern instructions are incredibly detailed. Yours came out great and I hope mine will too!

[@brendaescalon2175]

I purchased this pattern. It is on my to do list this year.

[@Pretentiousinpink]

Thank you so much for this! I bought this pattern and was having a meltdown trying to just follow the printed instructions. I need more visual instruction and this got me through the whole pattern with ease.
Definitely going to make more now. Also love the holo taco!

[@brendaescalon2175]

That is freaking cool. I need that pattern......Update, I just purchased the pattern and the corset belt too.

[@HalflingSeamstress]

Yay! I think everyone should have a teacup holster - it always puts a smile on my face when I look at it :)

[@sarahrosen4985]

I'd like to see a collab between you, Living Anachronism and Skill Tree. Practical real life adventuring kit. 🥰

[@HalflingSeamstress]

Oooh! I've been following Living Anachronism for about a year and I would SO be down for a collab like that!

[@7peacefrog]

This is so neat! I have never seen anything like this before, but would love to have 1 (I have tea everyday 🫖) I'm just not sure if I could do it/make it? Can you share where you found the pattern? Thank you for sharing this, and I can't wait to see more of your video's

It was fairly easy to put together, and it is rated for 'confident beginner' :) the pattern is from Steamtorium on Etsy: www.etsy.com/ca/listing/493626576/teacup-holster-sewing-pattern-carrier?ref=desktop_listing_share_button
