    I love making these and gifting them, yours are wonderful! Recently made 15 to give as gifts. Had not made any since this time last year and the first one this year, well duh, I forgot the darts, LOL but a wonderful matching potholder for its corrected bowl.

    Very cute idea! Where did you get your pattern from?

    They are safe as long as they are all cotton. I will test them all before gifting with water filled bowls in the microwave. I will also include instructions with a little warning about heating them up.

    There are many patterns on Pinterest. I never follow them exactly but get the same results. I did quilt some of the bottoms as well as the corners trying to make them a little stiffer.

    My husband likes to eat his meal sitting in his rocking chair in the living room, so I serve most of it in a bowl with one of these bowl holders. It takes him longer to eat now, so the bowl holders keep it hot longer. Then I take another bowl and another bowl holder and join him in my chair.

    Of course these need washing often, so we need to make a stack of them.

    Good reminder! I need to make some too. I seem to recall there is a particular batting that works best.

    I just finished a order for 20 of these for Christmas gifts. The customer buys a small casserole dish to go in it. It makes a wonderful gift.

    I made them for Christmas last year, went to the dollar store and purchased micro-safe bowls and made one for each family member. My granddaughter uses hers for ice cream LOL.
