I had received a soup bowl cozy from a quilting conference that I attended this past spring. It was in a gift bag full of goodies. Brent and I really like it and he mentioned that we should have another one. So I thought why not?
Pinterest to the rescue! I adapted the pattern from here https://pin.it/viifbhxoh6qbaw
These are my notes for future reference. For safety reasons no synthetic materials are to be used. I soon realized that I do not have a lot of cotton threads! But I did find a couple of spools. Great project too for using up scraps of batting.
Trim batting to 9 1/2” square
Cotton fabric 10” square
Draw stitching lines diagonal both directions (stitch along these lines to quilt)
Then one horizontal and one vertical to find the centers.
Make 2 of these (1 for the inside & 1 for the outside)
Fold in half (horizontal line) and measure 2” towards the center and 1” up from fold
draw a line and stitch from the widest to towards the point creating a dart
Fold in half (vertical line) and repeat above steps
Trim to 1/4” from stitching line. You should now have 4 darts.
With right sides together pin and sew 1/4” from the batting.
Leave enough room to turn right side out.
Trim corners.
Topstitch around the edge
hmmmm....wonder if these should be smaller? They use so many bowls in Japan....and so small too...
