Love the addition of the magnet to the jar opener ! Brilliant ,👍👍

[@HelloSewing]

It's so handy to store it on the fridge

[@margaretthibideau127]

I love these ideas! Please be sure that the fabrics used for heating things in the microwave are safe, thick non-flammable fabrics, as some fabrics are unsafe to use for heating.

Including the thread! 100% cotton.

Great reminder! Thanks for the comment

[@HelloSewing]

Indeed, batting as well

[@stacyw3250]

I use my jar grip all the time!

[@HelloSewing]

It's a great little thing 😊 a kitchen must have if you ask me. I always struggle with jars

[@TWMAC2011]

These are all cute. One issue, the print on the tea bag. Pretty sure I would not like that dye (unknown chemicals/ elements) in my steeping hot water. I'd just use muslin, unbleached and natural.

[@HelloSewing]

Indeed, you are right. As cute as these fabrics are, I would also advise against using printed/bleached fabrics

May I suggest anything going into a microwave that is made of cloth should be made of 100% cotton,fabric & thread. It may cause a fire if it isn’t.

These would be fantastic gifts individually, but even better . . . make matching sets!! 🎉👏🎊 And make sure to label what they are and include instructions for using! (Ask me how I know about labeling what they are! 😬😵‍💫)

[@HelloSewing]

Great tip! Labeling and care instructions are definitely something I need to remember doing EVERY time :)

[@pstmeoff]

I am certain that you are using 100% cotton, right?

[@HelloSewing]

For everything that goes in the microwave, yes

[@susieclement1157]

It has to be a100% cotton.

[@LuvTheOcean59]

ITA plus the thread, interfacing, batting etc must also be 100% cotton in order to be microwave safe.

[@HelloSewing]

^^This

[@HelloSewing]

EVERYTHING that goes in the microwave should be 100% cotton. And even so, you should always keep an eye on the microwave

The fabric tea bag wouldn’t look pretty after the first use. Stain could be uneven.

[@HelloSewing]

My advice is to use unbleached muslin fabric. After a few uses it would look intentional :)
