Fabric bowls just made
I tried these last year so decided to make some for the craft fair Saturday. made them in all Xmas fabrics. They will look really cute on the Xmas dinner table! They are suppose to be good for heating food in the microwave then taking straight to the table in these to protect the table, sort of a "bowl hot pad". They are reversible, so you can use either side and are washable. Cute, Huh? I got the pattern either from this board, or off the Internet, can't remember.

Love them! Just make sure you use 100% cotton batting (not warm & natural which has a poly scrim), cotton thread and cotton fabric! I just stuck a cotton dish towel in the microwave and ignored the fact that i had a small machine embroidery on it I did with poly thread. It wasn't in long enough for it to catch fire, but it scorched! This was after 2 minutes.

Oh, great! In the tutorial the lady said she used Warm and Natural, so that is what I used! I guess I had better tell people just to use them to put the hot bowls in AFTER removing from the microwave to bring to the table! Bummer!! Wonder if anyone else has made them and used W & N, how they stood up!! Thanks! Glad I only made 6 so far!!
