How to make a quilted bowl cosy/cozy

[@lucygray6162]

Wowser! You explained in six minutes what it takes everyone else thirty lo-o-o-o-ng minutes to blab, AND treated us to that delightful pup. Many thanks. Now we all have more time to make cozies!

[@TodayweCraft]

Thank you so much for your awesome comment! xx

[@4boyeez]

I hate when the videos have so much unnecessary filler. I love it when it just gets to the point. Thank you!

[@joygucciardi4888]

Thank You for making it so simple Going to start some and yes I know I’m a little late to the party 🙃

[@naidasquilting279]

Exactly. Thank you.

Oh that was perfect! No fluff, just directions and a very cute puppy at the end. Thank you

Thank you!🤩

[@FireflyNanny]

I love the little tip about using the needle to help move the fabric edges under the needle, and also love your simple and clear instructions!

[@TodayweCraft]

You are so welcome! x

[@melchap981]

Completely agree!! Such a helpful tip! Thank you 😊

I never thought of that before. That was a great tip

[@Shastabailey]

Yes, I agree! What a great tip :)

Finally! A tutorial where there is only necessary talking! Thanks a million.

This has to be one of the best tutorials I’ve seen. Thank you 😊

Wow, thank you! xxx

[@cristalloe5622]

Wow the best most straightforward tutorial I have ever seen in my whole life!!!!! Thank youuuuuuuuuu

[@bethglenmaddie]

Loved the tutorial! Lots of unnecessary negative posts from people about other youtubers though. Personally I enjoy all kinds of intructors, whether they are chatty or not. If you don't like something, just pass it by. No need to be so negative!

[@cherim217]

Nice Video. No unnecessary talking, straight to the point. Loved it. Thanks!

[@TodayweCraft]

And thank you for your lovely feedback! ☺️

[@cherim217]

I have made about 2 dozen Cozy' s already. So fun and easy to make. Thanks again for a great video!

[@TodayweCraft]

That's awesome!! Let me know if there's anything else you want me to show you how to make.

I am going to try doing this with an oblong basket to make a bed for my cats. I’ve been trying to figure out how to make a liner but then I remembered the bowl cozi and realized that just Might work!

Best and easiest tutorial on these that I’ve seen, and I’ve tried several. Thanks for the great, simple, and no (ughhh) chit-chat video. You’re a gem!

Thank you!

This is the best!!! No templates or patterns needed!❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊😊

[@suer6103]

Thank you! This is going to save my fingers! Not only from hot bowls but cold cereal bowls as well. I have Raynauds & my fingers go numb at the slightest chill. Also, your video is so easy to follow!! 💖

Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed it. x

Fate that you showed up in my feed. My daughter just requested these. Excellent tutorial. Precise, to the point, and without all the endless blabbering from other instructors. I’ve given up and two other tutorials. I’ll be subscribing. Thank you. You are quite talented.

[@TodayweCraft]

Thanks Robin for your kind feedback 😊. I hope your daughter loves her bowl cosy x

[@gypsygirl731]

Great and nicely done easy pattern. I’ve seen so many trying to explain on Pinterest no videos . This helps a big deal makes a nice gift for mums with children and for us adults who almost drop a hot bowl with a mere towel. Thank you ❤

[@TodayweCraft]

You are so very welcome! xx

[@mariarandall9008]

I really like your no nonsense explanation .

[@TodayweCraft]

Thank you so much!

[@Llllbbb.123]

I finally watched a different video and found that the seam allowance is 1/4 inch and top stitch once turned inside out is 1/8 along the entire edge of bowl closing the opening.

[@pennyroach4750]

What a great video! You explained the directions so well, I thought you had to buy pattern template to make it . But with your directions, it even looks easier than using the template. Thank you so very much for explaining it so well.❤

[@TodayweCraft]

thank you so much for your kind comment!

[@dtakahashi1190]

This cozy also works for a cold bowl of ice cream. I appreciated the speed of this lesson.

[@TodayweCraft]

Plus, what's not to love about ice-cream....?

I love how you explain this so simply with the items we already have in our basic crafting supplies. The video footage is direct and easy to see. Thank you. FOLLOWING

[@TodayweCraft]

Glad it was helpful! x

[@sharonwallace6011]

Thank you! The instructions were so easy to follow & it turned out very nice. I did not notice if you had instructed people to use 100% cotton fabric, batting and thread, due to fire hazard in microwave.

[@ellexusse]

You have THE BEST tutorial. Thank you. I don’t know why everyone else makes theirs so darn complicated! They cut before sewing. I appreciate this!

[@TodayweCraft]

Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it. x

[@suelake3398]

I add my thanks for the clear instructions. They could not be better. I found these bowl cosys by accident recently and bought one. It actually works very well as a bowl for bits and bobs so I am inspired to have a go at making some more. Well done.

[@TodayweCraft]

Thank you so much I really appreciate your feedback. Have a great day!

[@margueritemoore-zl1nw]

Straight to the point, clear instruction. No waffle. Love it❤

Loved this informative video, and I learned something new, too, us a pin to help the fabric through the foot feed at the corners!. These are simple and cute!

[@MaryAAnderson-x5e]

Beginner in retirement. Your video was great. I made three bowls with “manly” materials as catch-alls for hubby’s meds, keys, etc. Looks much neater now. Thanks!

[@kristiedentice8021]

thank you for such an easy tutorial. i got the hang of it the first try. i had so much fun making these cozies, i made them for a christmas gift for everyone. & they all reall liked them. thanks again.

[@deanhenthorn1890]

I’ve made hundreds as gifts and stocking stuffers. I made a cardboard template from a cereal box that allows me to draw the darts on each fabric half after the corner to corner stitch is made. So much easier than measuring and marking each 4 darts otherwise everything else shown in your video is the same. Add a matching fabric loop. I make the Coozies in different sizes and matching fabrics for those people who want them to coincide with their cooking and serving dishes! Big bowls need protection too!

[@TodayweCraft]

That's a fantastic tip! thank you so much for sharing it xx

[@nancyvangorden1363]

I like your concise directions and close up video! Thanks so much!

Love this video. So easy to follow your clear instructions. I actually made a bowl cozy immediately after watching your video, came out perfect! Soup looks good..Have a great blessed day! Thank you for sharing.

[@Vio-ot4ft]

Your top-stitching is so neat and even. Love the "pull the fabric with a needle" tip. Thanks.

[@TodayweCraft]

You are so welcome!

[@BeatlesFanSonia]

I just started making these. I have made several sizes but I find that the most versatile size is starting with an 11” square. Also don’t cut the darts off. Cut the darts on the fold and press open because that causes less bulk and makes it easier to sew.

[@valerieclark5064]

I also cut the darts open, but I trim the batting from the excess dart fabric and grade the corners to help with bulk.

[@BeatlesFanSonia]

Valerie Clark Yes, so do I! Great minds and all that! 😂

[@DentD]

Just came across this comment and so glad I did! I've been struggling with the bulk on the inner darted corners so I'm definitely going to try this on my next one.

[@patcorona5979]

Great instructions! Easy to understand and follow. Love all the tips you’ve given especially using the needle to help fabric move forward. Thanks!

Thank you. I understand per your reply. 10” square, sewing seam is 1/4” and after turning sew edge with 1/8” seam.

[@fabricartUK]

Like this for how concise yet detailed it is. I sell these using tea towels and upcycle other fabrics....perfect for hot AND cold bowls. Ice cream ideal for kids in bowl cosies at picnics and equally usefull for eating soup , pasta dishes, and hot deserts. A truly versatile make!

[@TodayweCraft]

Oh I bet using tea towels is beautiful!

[@Kakes6817]

[@marybethpazdernik9783]

All components - fabric, batting (wadding) and thread must be 100% cotton. Polyester could spark when heated.

[@pegpoirier5527]

Hello I read that as well, but I read the batting needs to be 100% cotton called Wrap-N-Zap that is microwave save. Is that what you use? WalMart carries it.

[@marthacadarette6767]

I doubt a hot bowl of food would spark a fire. I would not put anything like this in a microwave anyway

[@lorreprentiss3604]

This is the best bowel cozy ever. Excellent video.

[@TodayweCraft]

Wow, thank you!

[@Llllbbb.123]

when I completed my bowl looked a lot smaller than yours. Is the size perhaps 12" instead of 10"? Thank you.

[@sherryl3306]

Lori, use 10" squares but sew with a 1/4" seam all the way around. Leave a 2" opening. After turning inside out, sew around the entire bowl cozy with a 1/8"seam. I hope this helps.

[@deep3753]

OMG!!!! What a BRILLIANT tutorial!!!! Love the top about the needle behind the sewing machine needle. WOW!!!

[@TodayweCraft]

Thank you so much Dee!

[@dawnparker614]

I tried making one, too small. Need to be at least 14 inches in size on all sides for a soup bowl to sit nicely . Overall it worked out good.

[@joanngeer]

It totally depends on the size of your bowl. Too small for some bowls might have been a better description. Works perfect for my soup bowls.

[@lucygray6162]

Lord, child, if you need a 14" square, you must be feeding a very large person. My 750 ML bowl fits perfectly in the 10" cozy, and is all the soup I want at one sitting. But a graduated size set IS a good idea for king-size people.

[@Chercher4848]

Great demo, made one in 30 min or less. A friend made mine & works great for soup. I will make several more for gifts. Thanks 👍

Wonderful!

I found the one and only video I need to watch. It was fantabulous! And P.S., now that I'm making these, I made a 1" x 2" triangular template out of spare foam board that I had. Saved me from measuring over and over - though that was great to see it this way to keep it uncomplicated.

[@TodayweCraft]

That's a great idea!

[@annmar202]

I was taught to never sew over a pin. I wil adapt this accordingly. LOVE the video!
