Күн бұрын

Make a Tea Towel bowl cozy and match all your kitchen linen.
Use when eating a hot bowl of soup or a cold serving of ice cream.
Made with 100% cotton fabric and batting so you can use it in the microwave. ( always keep an eye on it when using the microwave and do not leave unattended)
My tutorial includes extra steps to reduce bulk

This is a great tutorial. The one thing I would stress to people is “ If you are going to put this cozy in the microwave to warm food, then you have to make sure all of your fabrics, thread & batting is 100% cotton. Your batting has to be scrim free. Also, warm in two minute increments so it doesn’t overheat”.

This was good and you definitely went to more trouble re bulk than I do. One year I made a lot of these so I made a chipboard dart template. I cut it to size so that when I place the long edge against the fold, and using a quarter-inch foot, the stitching line lands at 1 inch from the fold. I don't remember for sure, but I think I made it 2.5 inches long. That was for mass assembly with 10-inch precuts. Thanks for sharing. I really appreciate your channel.

I just like to show how I do things to make it a bit neater and easier if your machine struggles with extra layers. All the best for the new year!

Cotton batting is pricy why do you cut a larger piece of batting and then trim it off? I cut both the same size, much less waste. I love the towels you used.

@NotchesSewing 2 жыл бұрын

You can certainly cut the same size. When I make my tutorials, I try to keep in mind the beginner sewer. Having that slightly wider batting makes it just a bit easier to trim. As it’s going to be trimmed anyway, I don’t bother cutting curves for batting. Also having it wider ensures that it will be caught when stitching around. ( if they’re the same, a little bit of shifting may cause it not getting caught,.) Thanks for watching😊. PS- pretty sure I got the tea towels from Kmart or Target.

But, I've shown my sewing to men who know construction and the first thing they've done is TURN OVER My project TO CHECK CONSTRUCTION & ACCURACY and I've gotten raised eyebrows, big smiles and compliments on attention to finishing detail. 😁 That's what I love about your videos- attention to creating a well executed clean looking item. I am partially blind in my right eye. I have a severe learning disability called Dyscalculia. Symptoms are can't count or sequence things. I tell people "I sew simple things very well. Craftsmanship is paramount to me." Even w my handicapps I WONT quit. Even tho it takes me longer I take the time required to produce highly quality work.

I love precision. Always produce work to be proud of. Especially if you are selling it. I try to drill that into my staff at work. Sometimes no matter how many times you tell someone, perfection is just not part of their make up…….. On the flip side, sewing should be fun and making mistakes is all part of the learning process 😊.

Does it have to be an industrial sewing machine?

@NotchesSewing 2 жыл бұрын

No but if your domestic machine struggles with bulk, you may need to use a walking foot. Link for one in the description. Thanks for watching. Cheers!

What is batting without scrim?

@NotchesSewing 2 жыл бұрын

it’s a binder grid usually made of polyester to hold the fibres together. Best to leave out when microwaving just in case.

Is there a reason why you used batting without scrim?

@NotchesSewing 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Holly, I wanted the cozy to be 100% Cotton. Scrim is made of polyester to stabilise wadding when used in a quilt.
