I made many last year for Christmas. Everyone at first was what is this? A few weeks later everyone called me wanting more. You don't need to buy a pattern.
Belmer posted a great tutorial on this board how to make them. http://www.quiltingboard.com/tutoria...s-t144848.html

Oh, I sold them last fall at a craft sale for $15 for two. I sold 15 sets. I used all quilt shop fabric cotton, cotton thread, and cotton batting with no scrim. I used a decorative stitch around each edge of the bowl. The bowls are not for cooking, only for heating a bowl of food. They make great lid potholders too.

BellaBoo is right -- for the microwave just be careful of the fabric, thread (no metalic or poly for sure -- I don't know about rayon) and remember the scrim on batting is a poly blend.

I made six of these. Don't put ours in the microwave, just place the hot bowl inside them. We can't live without them. Also use them for holding cold bowls of icecream. Use them daily!

Forgot--also put handful of chips in one and put in microwave to heat chips up.

One of our members did a tutorial on how to make this microwave potholder bowl. but I don't know how to find it. Could someone help on where to locate the tutorial. Thanks
