Thank you so much! I’m so glad to hear that you like it. And of course I will make you one! I’ll e-mail you about it and we can work out the details.

You know what you should make… it’s a version of your catnip pillow but for humans. Make a pillow stuffed with jasmine rice, or other rices. Make in different sizes. People can then microwave them and put them on their bodies – works great for headaches, stomach cramps, back aches… this could just be me, but I use a much smaller one for my head than my stomach – it’s perfect for when I have menstrual cramps.

how do you wash them between usings? I’m super-excited to make some, just have to find loose muslin!

(I’m 32 but I’ve been called a grandma for years – although now that other people knit, not so much!)

I LOVE this idea! You sell them in an Etsy store? I’ll have to take a look. Thanks for sharing this ‘coz both my DH & I believe in recycling.

I think these are adorable. I smiled when I saw the comments about being old in a young body because of two things. 1- I myself have often said that I should have been born in the 40′s or even 30′s because I’m so old fashioned in a lot of ways. 2- My high school choir teacher (only 8 yrs older than me) called me an old grandma when he saw my embroidery and crochet that I took with me to all state choir for entertainment.

This is so wonderful and yet so simple. Something I’ve wondered how to do for years, but just didn’t think it through. Those little ‘tea balls’ you can buy don’t do the best when you have fine tea leaves. Thanks a million.

Love this Idea! Thanks for sharing the pattern. I will make these for friends who love tea. They would work well for holding seasoning herbs too. Yeah, now I have a use for all of my small scraps of muslin or other light colored loosely-woven fabrics.

I was just toying around with the idea of making tea bags as wedding favors, and found your page when I ran a search on it. I might be crazy, but I don’t think it’ll be too hard to make 200 of these if I set it up an assembly line. Now I just have to decide what kind of tea to use. . .

Thank you so much! It is so funny to read all of these comments. I’m only 18 but I always feel so old, I like to make everything.
I’m attempting to make these with different varieties of teas for a friends graduation present.. Does anybody have a good recipe for a cookie maybe that would go well with teas?
I have chai, earl grey, orange cranberry and english breakfast..?

Thanks !!

Sorry, but i have to ask… Does the tea taste at all like wet clothes? I love the idea and your tutorial is great, but I can’t help wondering… :)
