Supplies for 1 coozie (to make 4, 6 or 8-multiply qty’s below by 4, 6 or 8):
2 Coordinating Fabrics - One 5.5″ x WOF from each, subcut each strip into Four 5.25″ sections gives you 8 sq. for ea. fabric (16 total) - yields 1 set of 4 coozies (w/4 sq. of batting)
4 Coordinating Fabrics - One 5.5″ x WOF from each, subcut each strip into Four 5.25″ sections gives you 8 sq. for ea. fabric (32 total) - yields 1 Set of 8 coozies OR 2 Sets of 4 (w/8 sq. of batting)
To cut the kits, I used the accuquilt Go 5″ Circle cutter. (Layered Fabric 1 wrong side up, batting, second fabric 1 right side up and both of the fabric 2 squares right side up). You can use a 5″ (or alternate/similar traceable size that’s available to you) circle to trace when additional ones at home.
With your layered fabrics as noted above:
If you have a hard time sewing in a nice circle, 1- take your time, go slow and pivot around the circle. Also you can trace the bottom of your wine glass and use the left side of your presser foot as the guide to sew on the raw edge side of the circle. Keep in mind that you still need room for the final 1/4″ topstitch.
For the top stitching, use a nice decorative stitch and if your sewing on the circle gets slightly wonky, you won’t notice as much.
Flip and insert wine glass…
You can also find another very similar tutorial for this here…This one tells you to quilt the batting/fabric 1 sandwich prior to stitching up the coaster.
I don’t know who the original owner of this is, if anyone knows let me know. I know this one has been around a while and many people have different versions/tutorials.
Happy Monday!!! I think this is the best tutorial I have seen for making these microwaveable fabric bowls.
These will make super great, classy/fun/themed gifts for anyone or any occasion! I will be Demo’ing how to make these in the shop all week and have kits for sale as well!
See you soon… Where does that come from …oh yeah.. it’s Ya’ll come back now, ya hear… Ha ha it’s from the Beverly Hillbillies too funny!
Here are some pics of my first attempt with other instructions someone had passed along to me. They live with our bowls so we don’t forget to use them. When we do forget, we just use it as a potholder to take the bowl out of the micro., then as a hotpad/trivet for the hot bowl to sit on, on the dinner table. I think the pinning and marking really helped!.
Set of three - same size
Inside of one of the bowls
Bottom of one of the bowls
The link below is far better instruction.
