Tutorial: Heart mug rug that folds into an envelope

Ella and Nesta’s Little Room shows how you can make this heart-shaped mug rug. It folds up to create a little fabric envelope. You could easily tuck a couple of tea bags into it as you’re folding it up. The pattern comes from a free printable folding paper valentine by Ombretta at A Sunday Morning With…. Ella & Nesta use the pattern to make a mug rug instead of the paper valentine.
