    My first attempt at this pattern I created, now I get to tweak it, I think I will double it and have one side cocoa and the other tea bags and fold it like all the tea bag carriers I have seen.

    SIDE NOTE: A friend sent me an e-mail and said putting this inside a mug would be good for someone ill. Change out one of the mixes with a mix of dry soup, insert a spoon in the mug!

    Really cute idea! I love the hot choco holder. That would make a great gift for co-workers, teachers, stocking stuffers, etc. I hope you share your pattern with us.

    I've never seen anything like it!! Really a cute idea, especially to include the cocoa!!! Since I'm one of those nuts who don't drink tea - or coffee, for that matter - cocoa is absolutely perfect!!!! Great Christmas gift or stocking stuffer!!!!

    Pattern.....I took a sheet of printer paper (8 1/2 x 11)

    Cut an inch off the 11 inch side to where you have 8 1/2 x 10.

    Cut out two pieces of fabric and sew together leaving an opening to turn, make a tab with button hole and insert into opening and fold up approx. 4 inches and pin.

    The size should be 8 1/2 x 6 inches. Sew all around the outer edge and across the folded edges. Fold in half and at the point sew the center pocket, creating two pockets. Sew a button on and you have it.

    I also took a sheet of printer paper and folded it into a tea bag holder but haven't accomplished this on fabric yet!
