5 easy steps to finish your bowl cozy<br />
With just a few easy steps, you’ll<br />
have your bowl cozy ready to use<br />
in no time. Let’s get started!<br />
• Layer the 2 fabric squares,<br />
with Therm Fleece attached,<br />
right sides together.<br />
• Attach a walking or even-feed<br />
foot to your machine.<br />
• Using a ½” seam, stitch all<br />
around the outside edge,<br />
leaving a 3” opening for<br />
turning. Try not to leave the<br />
opening where the dart is.<br />
You can slightly round the<br />
corners for a nicer finish.<br />
• Trim seam allowance as<br />
required.<br />
• Turn the bowl right side out<br />
through the opening. Handstitch<br />
the opening closed.<br />
• Top-stitch around the<br />
outside edge.<br />
• You can also do some simple<br />
straight-line quilting in the<br />
center of the bowl to make<br />
sure the layers stay together<br />
smoothly.<br />

This size bowl cozy will fit most regularsize<br />
soup bowls, but it’s easy to make<br />
smaller or larger bowl cozies, just by<br />
changing the size of the fabric squares.<br />
Smaller bowl cozies will need shorter<br />
darts and larger ones will need longer<br />
darts.<br />
You could also use just one square of Therm<br />
Fleece if you wish.<br />
You’re sure to enjoy using up some fabric<br />
scraps along with Therm Fleece to make<br />
some attractive and useful bowl cozies.<br />
Another bonus – they're reversible!<br />
