Default Need some help with fabric bowls.

This past week I made a few fabric bowls, but don't know how to finish them off nicely, I always seems to end up with a lump along the top edge. I was hoping someone with more experience would suggest how I can improve this, so it looks like I know what I'm doing....

I cut my strips 1.25 inches wide, wrap each strip as I go around cloth clothesline, then tuck in my nwe stip under the end of the previous strip and carry on zigzagging them to each other, when I want to make a curved edge, I just hold the bowl up perpendicular to my sewing machine for a couple of rows. When I get to where I want to stop adding more strips - I'm not sure how to do this next step.

Here are a couple of pictures of the bowls I made this last week. Thanking you in advance for any help you can provide.
