They make a real cute hot-bowl-holder. We use them for hot soup and for cold ice cream.

I don't think you would make much by selling them for $5. However, I'm not sure how much one would pay for them.....I suppose it depends on the size? I might pay $9.99 for a larger one that I could use for a larger bowl. No way could I afford $30 for six individual bowls.....and besides, you wouldn't make much either.......LOL!

you also need to use the stuff that you use insulbrite, it can withstand the heat.

I started sewing the bowls tonight... they are SO SO cute! I think I can sell them for $8, rather than $10. And my selvedge potholders will go for $6. I'm trying to mass produce... cut out about 30 bowls. |

I really appreciate all the info you ladies are providing. These bowls aren't big in our area yet, so I am thinking I may do well selling a few. Going to have to go through my thread stash and find some that is 100% cotton, so I don't set somebody's house on fire!

I make tons of microwave bowl holders to sell at our local farmer's market. I use W & N batting & have never had a problem or complaint about them catching on fire. I do use only cotton fabric & thread. Mine sell for $8.00 and I can't make enough of them.

I heard a few years ago that these things can catch on fire. Is that because people didn't use the 100% cotton?

Do not use insulbrite.

insulbrite? I use that for pot holders but i don't think i would put it in the microwave. It contains metal and can spark.

Yes, or cotton thread or cotton batting. Also, one person in my sewing group had this problem even using all cotton and found she had to pre-wash fabric.

I've made a lot of these but was wondering how yours turn out after they are washed. Mine sort of collapse after I washed them. I used a layer of batting on each side & thought they would stand up to washing. Now don't get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with it after it is washed...just not as "pretty" as before...just sort of flat. They are still very, very usable & I don't think I go a single day without using mine.
