Here is the basic tea cosy pattern that I used;

I just made the very basic tea cosy in blue - using 8ply acrylic and embellished from there! I made some free-form pieces in dark green to make the grass and stitched them on.

The washing line posts are made from an I-cord;

The washing line is a simple chain of metallic thread.
The washing itself I made with embroidery floss and a 0.75mm hook and just winged it and made ‘clothes shapes’! They are ‘pegged’ onto the line with a stitch of tan - coloured embroidery floss. Any simple, tiny flower pattern will do for flowers!
The sun I based on this pattern;
