Quilted Bowl Holders


Microwave Bowl Holders

Great to take your hot bowl of soup from the microwave to the table safely.  





You will need:-
2  x 10" 100% cotton fabric squares
2 x 10" 100% cotton wadding squares
100% cotton thread.

1. Place one fabric square right side up on the top of one cotton wadding square and pin.
2. Quilt them together by sewing two diagonal lines of straight stitch. (see above photo)
3. Repeat so you have two fabric squares quilted onto two wadding squares.
4. Make four marks, one on each centre of each triangle on both squares.
5. These marks are where your darts are going to be. The size of the darts will be 1" wide by the depth of your bowl. Pin then check that your bowl fits - then sew the darts in place.
6. Repeat with the other square.
7. Now pin the two squares right sides together, leaving a gap so that you can turn your holder inside out to right side.
8. Sew around, clip seams then turn inside out to right side.
9. Stitch gap and press. Voila your bowl holder.

WARNING:- YOU MUST USE 100% COTTON FABRICS, WADDING AND SEWING THREAD WHEN USING INSIDE THE MICROWAVE. IF YOU DO NOT THE HOLDER COULD CATCH FIRE.
