Design Wall Monday...well, sorta.

My sewing mojo has gone on Christmas hiatus. :( 

I've been wanting a few bigger bowl cozies and to upgrade my cereal bowl cozies. I even brought a template but never did get around to it. But I saw this on my FB feed made out of Dollar Tree pot holders. ummm...$2.50 invested into a project to 'see if' it works.

Low and behold, a few tries later yielded 3 larger and 1 smaller bowl cozy. The black one is the first and made with cotton/polyester thread. Ooops...I'll see how it does. I did buy red 100% cotton for the other three. I'm a little worried about the one with glitter but I'll be watching them in the microwave. The tag did say...heat resistant to 350F. While they are NOT the prettiest but cheaper than the cozies for sale at the Christmas Bazaar I went to over the weekend.

Note to self: Each bowl cozy takes 4 pot holders. I did zigzag first the sewed darts.

                    Larger: pot holders cut at 5.5 inches (as in above picture)

                                                    dart at 2 inches on zigzag side

                                                                1 inch on bound side

                    Smaller: pot holder cut at 4.0 inches (as in above picture)

                                                    dart at 1 inch on zigzag side

                                                                0.5 inch on bound side

There is quite a bit of waste with the smaller cozy but I want to buy more pot holders and try cut at 4.5 inches.
