How to Make a Large Bowl Cozy | a Shabby Fabrics Tutorial

[@beachboyde]

Thank you so much for that ultra fast reply regarding needle size.. ( I stupidly deleted that comment, darn it). I had later in the video noticed the use of the jean needle for the top stitching which is here I've been breaking needles ( and I'm sewing my Bowl Cozys on my EPIC 95Q)... I'm going to use a 1/2 seam and press it open and that should help with the bulk.... I'm so dedicated to watching your videos... and oh yes for the Creative Grids rulers.. and I'm in heaven with the newer left handed ones... thank you for all you do, and teach... it does not go unnoticed....

[@nan7503]

I've made mine! Awesome tutorial. I did trim the bulk away and trimmed the darts area. I suggest that this will surely help someone with lots of thumbs. Great great Tutorial as usual

I’ve made the smaller version. Instead of sewing around the edges and turning inside out, I’ve used bias binding strips. It’s my preferred method. Plan to make the larger version with the bias binding strips. Thanks for the tutorial.

[@janetsnowden7487]

In other words, we have to buy something from you. Just use your common sense SM and play around with sizes and use up some scraps of material as models. I did and they’re very easy to make. Good luck.

[@suzisaintjames]

If you aren't good at free motion quilting, choose a small dense pattern for your bowl buddy. Also use a thread colored the same as the background and all those stitches will disappear, but your project will get quilted and you'll get to practice. I practice when I'm mending rags. After the first one I thought I'd never get it (I've been watching too much Angela Walters). But after being washed, I looked at it again and realized I was too critical. Give yourself some grace! With practice I've improved and so will you! 💖🌞🌵😷

[@ShabbyFabrics]

Great tips!! Thanks for watching!! 🤗 😍 -Michelle

[@jhwilliams6550]

Excellent idea. I never thought of practicing when I’m mending!

@@jhwilliams6550, don't tell, but my husband's garden pants has orange peel all over his bottom. But you can't see it because it's in a matching color and he doesn't know any better! Have fun!

Jen, your Bernina has a tool that enable you to make straight lines without having to draw all of them, just the first one for each direction.

[@suefliss7210]

I'm a quilter. I have so much 100% cotton batting that it would be foolish to buy precut squares when I have plenty of pieces to use from cutting down my 120 " rolls of batting for my quilts. I want to make cozies as a way to use these batting strips. Most are 15-20" wide. All I need are the length and width of the darts. Thank You.

[@ShabbyFabrics]

Happy that this project gave you an idea to use up fabric. It is such a fun project that is great for gifts! Thank you for your support and comment! - Abby

[@nancy9478]

Since this is from a pattern/kit, she won't be giving you that info, she can't. I would guess 2 wide, 3 long since it's large. Start there with scrap fabric and adjust accordingly. Make sure your batting is scrim free and your thread is cotton if you plan to microwave it.

[@kathryntesch106]

Very good tutorial, however I've not been able to determine the purpose of drawing lines when there are already landmarks to work with? I watched it twice and still didn't know why I would need the lines.... otherwise, love it and am planning to make a couple sets of small and large ones as Christmas gifts🙂

[@ShabbyFabrics]

Happy that you liked the tutorial! It is up to you if you'd like to draw the lines. They are there to make sure you are accurate. Awesome about making more for Christmas! Thanks for your comment!😊 - Abby

[@nancybenolkin4711]

How did you get the batting not to move around? It almost looked like it was fused the rhe fabric. I know that can’t be the case as the adhesive would be flammable.

[@donnas9599]

Nancy, she pre-quilted the batting to the fabric -- look around the 1:45-2:00 minute mark. :)

[@nancybenolkin4711]

@@donnas9599 thanx, but even before she did the quilting it seemed like the batting and cotton were adhered to each other.

Do you need to wash materials and bat?

Hi Ann- That is a preference that some folks choose to do prior to creation. We do not typically wash our fabrics or batting before making our projects. 💖 -Michelle

[@sheilahharrison5841]

Why do you need to draw the grid lines?

[@ShabbyFabrics]

Hi Sheilah - Drawing the "grid lines" on the batting like Jen did in the beginning of the tutorial was just for placement stitches to attach the batting to the fabric. Drawing lines is not necessary, as long as you're able to stitch the batting to the fabric. Hope this makes sense! 💖 -Michelle

[@sheilahharrison5841]

Thank you. It was not clear to me how to attach the batting. You sew along the grid lines! Got it! Thx
