You are only to cook in microwave for 2 minutes at a time that is plenty of time for reheating

I have always wondered how to make bowl cozies and never really done any research. I received one as a gift few years back and I loved it. Your tutorial is very easy and clear to follow as always😊

Thank you so much. I use my bowl cozy often. Like tonight for my super simple oatmeal supper. 🥣

Good tutorial Robin! I like using bowl cozies but I don’t put them in the microwave either. And yes I’d give myself permission to have a separate seam to close the opening. It’s too exhausting trying to do things “correctly” all of the time! Have a great weekend! 🌷🌷🌷🌷

Hi Robin great tutorial, I personally would hand stich the opening as it is so small, but but but I will give myself permission to sew it like you said. ❤love your videos. Happy Easter. 😊

@rsislandcrafts 5 ай бұрын

Thanks. Hand stitching is always an option but maybe not for me. I’ve never been able to get my ladder stitch to look neat. Plus if you have to make a couple dozen for gifts you might change your mind after the sixth bowl cozy 🤔🧵

Hi Robin, thank you for your easy to follow directions to make any size bowl cozy! I tend to be a bit (or a lot) OCD but I’m going to try to give myself permission to make things a bit faster and possibly easier for me! Have a very Happy Easter!🐣🐰

It can be hard to let some things go. I had that problem when I was sewing stuffies. Then one day I was looking at stuffies at Walmart and I looked at how they closed the turning and stuffing hole. They just whip stitched It. 🤷‍♀️. I’ve looked at store bought clothing and realized they weren’t perfect either. Now I do my best to improve with each project and I don’t stress over It. No worries though. I still have another 100 things to stress over. 🤣🤣🤣 #robinperfect 😉

I am definitely going to be making some bowl cozies! And I will give myself permission to use a Crumb block But that means I need to make a brand new one so that I know that the thread is all cotton! Thank you so much for this. I have resisted making them for some reason but I have the ubiquitous Correle bowls as well as some deeper ones.

@rsislandcrafts 5 ай бұрын

Those correlle bowls are everywhere. Can you make just one or two crumb blocks? I always end up with at least 10 crumb blocks when I work on them 🤣

@dianaviera6228 5 ай бұрын

Thank you for your tutorial! I haven’t made any yet but I plan to. I also want to make the one for the pint ice cream containers. I will give my self permission to do the 1/8” seam allowance for closing.

@rsislandcrafts 5 ай бұрын

You’re very welcome. The ice cream cozy is very helpful when eating right from the container. Because what other way is there? 🤣

Thanks for this video. I definitely give myself permission to use tips to make sewing projects easier, especially if it means avoiding handstitching that isn't absolutely necessary. Just the other day, I noticed that a couple of our bowl cozies have gone missing. It is probably time for me to make a few. I don’t use our bowl cozies when cooking or heating in the microwave. However, after the food in the bowl is finished heating in the microwave, I will sometimes slide the bowl in the microwave to one side so that I can put the cozie next to the bowl. Then I can lift bowl into the cozie so I can take the bowl out using the cozie.

@rsislandcrafts 5 ай бұрын

Kitchen items just seem to disappear don’t they? I only have the one bowl cozy and I’m a bit tired of seeing the robots 🤣

@roseswalls3468 5 ай бұрын

I don't think I have ever made bowl cozies...I may have made one when they were first new. I feel like I remember making the darts. For one thing, I did not have room to store them. I always grabbed a pot holder to set a hot bowl on and carry it to where ever I am going to eat. I give myself permission for a lot of things...

@rsislandcrafts 5 ай бұрын

I use potholders for my plates all of the time. It’s just me and one bowl cozy so it’s easy to store. I do tend to have several potholders though.

Hi Robin: Great tutorial! I can actually make one without looking at the video again. That’s how good your tips and instructions are. Thank you for sharing. 💜😎🇺🇸

Glad it was helpful! I like that I can figure out the numbers based on the bowl. Otherwise I used to rewatch my videos for the dart measurements. ✂️

@rsislandcrafts 5 ай бұрын

Thank you! They are popular. It helps that they do get stained over time so people want to purchase new ones. Plus who can resist fun fabrics?

@lauraruthruff4741 5 ай бұрын

I'm going to give myself permission too... Great idea with the small stitching line. Maybe if I was selling them I would add the top stitching. I am like you and never put my cozies in the microwave. Thanks for the tutorial.

@rsislandcrafts 5 ай бұрын

It’s funny how we don’t worry as much when it’s just for us. I actually like It without the top stitching. It looks fine to me. 🤷‍♀️

if the extra line bothers you it can be closed by hand using a ladder stitch then top stitch by machine it will not bother me having the extra stitch haha

@rsislandcrafts 5 ай бұрын

For me, the extra line of machine stitching would be much neater and less noticeable than my poorly sewn ladder stitch 🙃

What do you think of using bowl cozies as potholders? You could fold them in half to increase their protection. Storage is a problem in my kitchen so if I can hang them up and make them a dual use it would help.

@rsislandcrafts 5 ай бұрын

I say give It a try. I like the idea of double duty.

@mrslsanderson 5 ай бұрын

Again a great tutorial, thanks. What do you think about using a double needle for top stitches. I give myself permission to buy bowl cozies instead of make them. I hate to make darts!!!

@rsislandcrafts 5 ай бұрын

Thanks! I don’t blame you. I always ask myself why are the things we least enjoy sewing the ones that are the most popular? A double needle would give them a nice finished look. The outer most needle might struggle going through the thickness near the edge of the cozy. 🤔

@denisealbright5880 5 ай бұрын

What would you think about zigzagging all the way around? Is that an option? Thanks for sharing.

@rsislandcrafts 5 ай бұрын

You can give It a try. See if it’s too bulky for a special stitch. I like to try different ideas to see how they work or don’t work.

@allisonholloway833 4 ай бұрын

What size do you make if you’re giving one as a gift?

I would go with the size in this video. It’s what I use for my shop. Unless you can be sneaky and measure their bowls 😉.

Can you do it by has I don’t have a. Saw machine.

@rsislandcrafts 5 ай бұрын

I don’t see why not. Some parts might be a bit more difficult to hand sew. You’ll hand sew the opening closed but the last bit of top stitching might be a bit harder to hand sew. You can skip that part though. People have been hand sewing for 100’s of years and they made some amazing things.
