Batting for fabric bowls
Hi all...I saw the pinterest pin below and liked this little tool keeper project. But I used a wool batting scrap and that makes the bowl too soft and floppy.
What batting would work best? It has to have some body but not be too stiff as there is a lot of folding in this project.

I'd probably use a fusible fleece, maybe one of Pellon crafting interfacing. It will be harder to fold, but it would be stiffer. I'm not sure about one of the foam products like Bosal or Soft and Stable. I haven't used them enough to know how they fold.

I used 80/20 for mine. Maybe it depends on the size? Mine was from a different pattern and may have been smaller. And the pattern I used called for adding quilting after turning it right side out, which may have added stability.
