      I first came across them at a quilt show and bought them at half off because it was end of the show. I thought they were such a brilliant idea! I’ve made some but it seemed tedious. This video seems to make a much easier process of it. I’m going to make some as a hostess gifts for the holidays. I’m so inspired!

    Your tip for using the opposite corner of the cozy to use as a guide to quilt straight is something I’ve never seen before and it’s absolute genius! Thank you for this tutorial. My husband asks for these every year, and due to unforeseen circumstances, I wasn’t able to make them last year, so a couple of these will be a perfect small Yuletide gift for him!

    ❤❤❤❤❤ THANKS SO MUCH FOR SHOWING US HOW TO MAKE OUR OWN PATTERN PLUS A GREAT TIP FOR A STURDIER ONE!! I’ve made these as gifts and it’s true…people don’t know they need them until they get them. Then they love them and want more! Sometimes I made a set of three sizes for a gift. The one larger than the one you demonstrate can be used with a dinner plate and also a serving bowl. Here’s a tip for your subscribers: I look for 100% quality cotton shirts at thrift shops. They make great bowl cozies, especially for men. 😊

    What a super tutorial!! Really like the tips of the stitching at the turn opening and will definitely use it on the next ones I make! Also the tip of using the corner point as a straight stitch guide!!
    Your videos are in best practice category- all you do is easy to see with clear view and instructions! Been a subscriber for awhile now!! Many thanks from southeast Texas!❤

    Hi watching from Australia. Thank you for a great tutorial. I have tried other patterns and was never completely happy with the outcome. The best tips for me were how to trim the batting (it seems common sense now but not having worked with it before I followed the other patterns exactly and none mentioned this. They were not video tutorials though) and using the opposite corner as a guide for quilting.

    Thank you for this great tutorial! I have made many bowl cozies from other videos and always found them to be fiddly and time consuming. Your video has shaved many steps:
    - love the template -- saves the constant measuring repetitively;
    - cutting the batting smaller than the fabric saves trimming;
    - 1/2 inch seams around the outside instead of 1/4 inch makes the sewing more forgiving;
    - sewing between the notches makes turning and sewing that opening closed so much easier;
    - starting the darts at the batting instead of the edge of the fabric saves clipping the seams later on. Loved the way you showed how to trim the darts too.
    - I never thought of running the machine for 1/2 inch at the bottom of the dart, so easy!;
    - doing the quilting at the end instead of at the beginning cuts out much of the stitching, and using the opposite corner to guide the diagonal lines is genius.
    You can probably tell from my comments that I am fairly new to quilting so I appreciated all of your tricks and tips. One thing I did differently from you is I used my walking foot for the entire time because my machine would not let me do the edge stitching with all that bulk without looking very uneven and terrible. I was able to do the edging by moving my needle to the far right so that the left side of the walking foot held down the fabric while the right side of the foot just barely held the edge of the cozie down. It was okay and I did get better at it.
    Thanks again from Victoria, BC, Canada. I have liked and subscribed.

    I made a dozen cozies not long ago for family members using someone else's instructions. Wish I had seen yours first!! Yours cut out many unnecessary steps or gives ways to do them a more efficient way. You are now my go-to bowl cozy maker. Thanks for all the extra little tips throughout the video that make it even easier. I'll be looking for your other videos as well.

    I have made a number of bowl cozies, and I still learned something new watching how you make them. The way you remove rhe batting from the darts is genius!, also, not sewing the darts completely shut, genius!
    I will be making bowl cozies your way from now on, I have a feeling they will look better from now on.
    Thank You for sharing your time, and your talent with all of us.
