Meet Florence Brewster, your quintessential British Tea Lady (Teapot Cosy)

Florence gives your tea parties an essential British touch and makes for a great table decoration.
She will make you smile as you serve your tea.

This pattern would be an advanced beginner because of the nuup stitch for the hair.

Florence is in her late seventies and has a smile that brightens any day
Florence is in her late seventies and has a smile that brightens any day.
Her hair is always neatly pinned back under a colourful headscarf and she wears a well-worn apron depicting cupcakes, which are her favourite thing to bake. She always keeps the 1 hair roller in her hair at the front for when she takes the headscarf off, so she’ll look her best.
She loves serving cups of tea to everyone and remembers how everyone likes their cuppa. Despite her age she has a twinkle in her eye which shows a subtle mischief that she may sneak an extra biscuit when no-one is looking.
Florence still runs the village Tea and Bake Shoppe where she retells the village stories past and present.
