Dr. B gave me this bowl koozie a couple of years ago. I didn't know I needed one until I got it.
It is perfect to set a bowl in and heat it up in the microwave. Or just set the hot bowl into it to keep it warm while eating. It can also keep your hand from getting cold while eating ice cream.
It is reversable too.
I decided to make a Christmas version to add to my kitchen holiday decor. Since it might go in the microwave, I needed to use 100% cotton everything. I had some batting I thought was cotton so I did the burn test. It burned instead of melting so I think I was right that it was cotton. Next was finding cotton thread. Most everything I had was polyester. I did find a few spools of tread from my grandmother labeled "Will Boil", "Boil Fast" and "Merchandized". A quick google search said these vintage threads were cotton. I had gotten the fabric 36 years ago for a different Christmas project. I am pretty sure it is cotton too.
I think it is very festive.
And perfect for a bowl of Sweet Potato and Butternut Squash soup Keiran had left for me. Plus, I had a toasted slice of walnut-cranberry sour dough bread to go with it, yum!
It was a wonderful meal to enjoy during our first snow day of the season.
