Extra step when making bowl cozies
 
3 Attachment(s)
Before I put the darts in I draw a circle with a dish on the bottom, in the center. Then I sew around from outer circle to the middle. This gives the bottom some definition. [ATTACH=CONFIG]619393[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]619394[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]619395[/ATTACH]

What a great idea for definition to the bottom. I've made lots of these for gifts & for myself. I absolutely love them & we use them every single day of the year.

What an excellent idea! I hate when mine are all floppy and have no defined bottom. :)

What size square do you start with? How deep do you sew the darts and the width of the dart at the top/side of square?

Someone brought one to me and asked me to make some. It seemed different than I do them as to size.

This is such a great tip. I made mine and after they were done, I did not like the “poofieness” (is that a word?) in the bottom. I stitched a square in that area. It was awkward because the bowl shape was already there. I may make some more now using your method .
