I usually bring a couple of these bags when traveling, so I can make myself a good cup of tea in my hotel room.Lilihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13292553654219380455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055690688282230469.post-83834142178385679322013-10-27T08:44:35.379-07:002013-10-27T08:44:35.379-07:00Thank you for this tutorial!

When I'm threading a needle, I can't even see that there is an eye to thread through, until I put some glasses on. <br /><br />But seriously, I just very recently found out that they make machines with automatic threaders. I think this is genius! <br /><br />Until I can have one of those, however, I'll have to stick with my old tricks -- giving the thread a fresh cut, waxing it a bit, and holding a scrap of paper behind the needle so I can make out the needle from the rest of the visual clutter.Lilihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13292553654219380455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055690688282230469.post-55085928716704352982013-01-10T01:19:17.699-08:002013-01-10T01:19:17.699-08:00But I have a feeling you're the sort of person...But I have a feeling you're the sort of person who could whip a load of these up in no time at all, probably whilst the kettle's boiling.

I like spicy chai tea, and often the blends are not quite as spicy as I like. This way I'll be able to make it just how I like it.

Since I don't have a sewing machine and hand sewing is about as appealing to me as sticking a fork in my eye, I'll just admire yours and stick with my store-bought teabags (I do have multiple versions of tea balls and a tea strainer, too, but your homemade tea bags would make a very fun and unique gift!).
