My February OMG goal was to make 4 bowl cozies. I gifted some at Christmas and had a request for more. So I scrounged through my larger scraps! Tried to find something fitting for each recipient and made sure I had 100% cotton batting and thread. Assembly line sewing sometimes makes you think of a faster method. There are 8 angles to cut and sew in each bowl. Times 4, which turned into 5, that is 40 angles! I after the first 8, I decided to make a template.
Not pretty, it's part of a facial tissue box, but it worked great!
Angles marked, stitched and trimmed!
First one done, 4 others on deck to do the final joining of the lining to the outside!
Here are all five. Four outsides and one inside. Both white ones have turquoise outsides.
I mailed them off for Valentine's Day. One to my daughter, one to my sister, 3 to my granddaughter
and her fiance! (Because the fabric was so cute and I had enough!)
I will link to Patty's
