If you have some fabric scraps that you cherish and don’t know what to use them for, here is an idea.
These little bowls measure about 7” and I needed 10” fabric and interfacing pieces.
They are great for storing work-in-progress projects or for creating beautiful decor, for Easter, as example.
The best thing about them: you can sew 2 or 3 in one hour!
You need a template, fabric and heavyweight interfacing (double sided fusible interfacing is the best).
This is the octagonal bowl…
– and this is the hexagonal bowl.
Once you learn how to sew these ones, you will be able to alter the shape and size as you want.
Put your fabric and interfacing scraps to good use!
If you want to sew your own version, download the pattern below.
NOTE
You can’t use these bowls in the microwave!
They are only decorative!
Happy sewing!
These are charming – thank you so much, Geta. 🙂
I enjoy new ideas for making gifts for my Sunday School Class. They like things we make instead of buying gifts. Thank you!
Always love to see new ideas and patterns. Free is just soooooo much better.
This will make any boring bowls into festive ones.

Just love your creativity and preciseness. And everything you do is beautiful:)
Can I serge these instead of zig zaging?
Lara, I don’t have a serger, but I think it works. You could make a test, just join two edges and see how they stay together.
I tried entering my information, using my current email. Why won’t it accept it?

I have tried downloading the tutorial twice with correct e-mail for the fabric bowls. Still have not received it. It is not in my junk folder either. Help!
