A new sewing project!







Heading now for (hopefully) warmer weather and the sewing spirit has risen within my body!!!  Spring means sap rising to most people but to me it’s the sewing bug which hits!!!

To get back into the swing of it I’ve started making bowl cozies.  I’ve got one which was given to me when I visited Canada years ago.  I LOVE it but as it’s grey it tends to be hard to find in my kitchen drawer!!!  The first one I’ve made is for a friend who lives nearby and this time round I’m making them with thicker wadding.  Why?  Well that’s because that’s what I was given!!!!  I LOVE Freecycle!!!!!

  4. Maureen - you put a bowl of food in a cozy and then microwave it. You've then got two 'handles' to grab so you don't burn your fingers!! The batting HAS to be cotton so it doesn't catch fire!!!

  6. Wool padding might work, too, but that's expensive.

  8. I am the only person on this earth, Jane, who does not own- or want- a microwave. But I like your yarn bowls anyway.

  9. My very elderly neighbours have always felt that about microwaves but their family have just given them one and she’s beginning to see how useful they are. I certainly wouldn’t be without mine - particularly with our escalating energy prices.
