Better and faster than the way I've made them for so long. I will definitely try this!

My girlfriend bought some of these from a craft fair and I thought they were fabulous used them the whole time we were at her house! You're such a great teacher! Watching from Eugene OR ❤

Hey sewing neighbor! Watching from Cottage Grove just south of you.

[@lkhicks6866]

@@DanaDeeBee no way! That's fantastic do you sew a lot?

[@kimhanback1302]

Watching from Alabama in the southern US. I've made these before but I do not remember them being as easy to make as your method. I will certainly use your way the next time I make them.

[@DanaDeeBee]

@lkhicks6866 not as much as I'd like to. I lost my "sew joe" for some reason for like 6 months or more and I'm starting to get the itch to start back up again. I like to sew useful things for around the house and bags, such as zippered cosmetic type bags and tote bags, boxy bags etc. Only been sewing for a few years now. Self taught, you tube all the way. Always learning more. How about you?

[@itsmelaura1533]

How did you know I was needing to replace my old, worn out bowl cozie? LOL. I love your method much better than the one I used. I will definitely be making these as gifts too! Thank you!

[@NotchesSewing]

Glad I could help!😃

[@loridennis4683]

I make dozens of these at a time. I love your way of doing it. I'm going to try it your way. Thank you for sharing.

[@nicolehubbard3536]

I will definitely be trying this! My husband always grabs one of my nice potholders to put under his bowl after he microwaves food. I've been considering making him a bowl cozy (or two) for Christmas. Now I know how. Thanks!

[@NotchesSewing]

I hope your husband loves them!😊

[@GalAlex88]

Thank you, Angela! This design and way of bringing it all together will be so much easier to sew than the ones I made a few years ago! I'll be sewing up a bunch of these for Christmas gifts. 😊

[@NotchesSewing]

Glad you think so. Hope you find it easier😊

[@NotchesSewing]

Thank you!😊

[@12345doc1]

Thank you for this great tutorial! I have made many bowl cozies from other videos and always found them to be fiddly and time consuming. Your video has shaved many steps: - love the template -- saves the constant measuring repetitively; - cutting the batting smaller than the fabric saves trimming; - 1/2 inch seams around the outside instead of 1/4 inch makes the sewing more forgiving; - sewing between the notches makes turning and sewing that opening closed so much easier; - starting the darts at the batting instead of the edge of the fabric saves clipping the seams later on. Loved the way you showed how to trim the darts too. - I never thought of running the machine for 1/2 inch at the bottom of the dart, so easy!; - doing the quilting at the end instead of at the beginning cuts out much of the stitching, and using the opposite corner to guide the diagonal lines is genius. You can probably tell from my comments that I am fairly new to quilting so I appreciated all of your tricks and tips. One thing I did differently from you is I used my walking foot for the entire time because my machine would not let me do the edge stitching with all that bulk without looking very uneven and terrible. I was able to do the edging by moving my needle to the far right so that the left side of the walking foot held down the fabric while the right side of the foot just barely held the edge of the cozie down. It was okay and I did get better at it. Thanks again from Victoria, BC, Canada. I have liked and subscribed.

[@NotchesSewing]

Yes these are exactly the things I disliked about making cozies when I first discovered them. Glad you like this method. Thanks from Australia!😊
