About

Join us for two Tuesday mornings sewing Bowl Cozies. These great gifts—which you can use for taking hot bowls from the microwave or for keeping hot bowls hot—are quick to sew and great for using up your scraps! In a morning you can make a set for each person on your gift list. 

The instructions include three sizes: to fit 6”-diameter, 8”-diameter, or 12”-diameter bowls. You adjust the size of the cozy by adjusting the size of your starting square and the size of the darts on each size. And for the “quilt-curious,” this is a great first or second project using batting. Plus, though the pattern shows the cozies made one piece of fabric for each side, you can also piece your squares, for even more scrap-busting.

Please note that this is a sew-along, not a class, and instruction isn’t planned for this activity. We hope sewists of all levels will be joining us, so you should be able to ask questions, but please do not expect to be taken through the project step-by-step.
