If you like saving time in the kitchen without sacrificing results, then you'll love this!
In this video, I show how to make a Potato Bag that can be safely used in the microwave to cook what some say are the best potatoes, corn on the cob & more. (The combination of 100% cotton batting & steam makes everything just right!)
If you’ve tried to bake potatoes in the microwave then you know the results are not impressive! No more long waits for potatoes to bake in the oven or water to boil on the stove.
I show how to quickly & easily stitch up this versatile bag with finished seams - that means no raw edges. This is better for food & the bag will stay fresher/cleaner longer. You can wash it but you won't need to each time you use it. Plus, I’ll show you how to make a bag that works well for breads, pretzels, biscuits & other items to warm up in the microwave, too.
To make it even better, I have 4 Handouts for you:
1. Making the Potato Bag
2. Making the Popcorn Bag
3. Using Your Potato Bag
4. Using Your Popcorn Bag
These make great gifts or as an item to sell. Planning to sell? Print my “Using Your Potato Bag” Handout on pretty paper and include it with the bag.
You’ll see me use several templates that I make and sell at www.winner-designs.myshopify.com .
1. The Microwave Bag Template: perfect for both the Potato Bag & Popcorn Bag. Cutting is a breeze & you can easily adjust to make a bigger or smaller bag.
2. The 2” x 5” Strap Template: perfect size for a strap/handle. The bag will be hot & full of steam so the handle makes it easier & safer to remove from the microwave.
3. The 1.5"/3.5" Box It, Square It, Place It Template: easily create perfect, consistent boxed bottoms. Fast & just the right size. (Plus, you’ll use both sizes for other projects)
4. The 3 Rulers for Ruler Work make any straight stitch quilting so much easier! These are really useful when making the Potato bag (I love them for my Tortilla Warmer, too!).
These templates are so versatile; you’ll find lots of other uses besides the Potato (& Popcorn Bag). The Strap Template, the 1.5”/3.5” Box It… Template & the 3 Ruler Work Rulers are ideal as placement guides for so many other projects, too. If you love scrappy projects, you’ll be putting them all to good use!
All of my Winner Designs Templates have my No Slip Backing which makes cutting accurate, fast, and easy. That means your projects will be easier to sew and produce better results!
You can find these templates on my website in a few different bundles. Pick the one that’s best for you.
