Bowl Covers Tutorial

So about a year ago I saw these cute potluck bowl covers at a fancy Eco friendly boutique store, and I wanted them. Unfortunately, they were a little too pricey for my budget. So I decided to make my own. They are great! No more fussing with plastic wrap. So much easier to use and healthier too. And when they get dirty just toss them in the wash.  I thought I would share how I made them with you. 

So here goes.

What you'll need..
cotton fabric 
cotton muslin for lining
double fold bias tape
1/4 inch elastic
safety pin
sewing machine
scissors

 First thing you do is measure your bowl. Add 2 inches and cut a circle from both your fabric and lining. With wrong sides together pin your fabric to your lining.

 Pick coordinating double fold bias tape and sew it all the way around leaving a small opening (below). 

 Measure the top of your bowl and subtract 2 inches. Cut your elastic to this measurement. Using a safety pin attached to the elastic thread it through the small opening. Push it through the bias tape all the way around. Pull out the safety pin and overlap the ends of elastic and sew them together. Sew up the opening and even out the elastic around the cover. 

 That's it your all done! I just love quick, easy and useful projects. Enjoy making them. Your gonna love them! Or you can buy mine at my Etsy shop.
