Bowl Cozies!
Following the video on youtube by TheCraftyGemini, I made some bowl cozies. In the video, however, she says to use 9-inch squares and I used 10-inch squares. I used AGM Fruit Salad fabric, and Susan Winget’s Baked with Love Kitchen Words fabric.
First I cut four 10-inch squares from each fabric, and eight 10-inch squares from Warm and Natural Batting. I sprayed the batting with adhesive spray, and layed down the fabric.
Then I folded each square in half and measured 1 3/4 inch across and 3/4 inch up on each side at the fold, then cut. I wanted to skip a step by not marking it 2 inches by 1 inch like in the video; however, it was a mistake. It was not as accurate and it is very important to get these darts accurate, as they have to be the same so that the pieces fit together well.
Then I used a round container to trim the corners to make them round. Again, it is very important to get each of these the same size so that they fit together correctly.
Then I fit the outer shell with the inner shell, right sides together and stitched all the way around, leaving a two- to three-inch opening. Turn right side out. Fold the opening edges in, keeping them closed and stitch a 1/8” seam all the way around.
It fit several different types of bowls very well. I think they would fit better if the darts were a little larger, making the cozy more snug. You can also make them different sizes. I also found a pattern for plate cozies.
