Microwave Bowl Holder - First Attempt

[madampolo]

After Kateskloset posted the link on making the microwave bowl holder, I had to try to make one of them. It didn't take long at all, and I had everything on hand. Thank you, Kateskloset! My hubby wants me to make more.

Very nice! What type of batting did you use? I wanted to make one today but I only have Quilter's 80/20 on hand. I don't know if that will withstand the microwave. I like how yourr comes up on the sides!

I used warm and natural, I think. I think it's 100% cotton! but I better check.

I am glad y'all liked it...I haven't even had time to make any for myself. I was in my LQS on Friday and the owner told me that she makes the "tater bags" for the microwave and she uses the 100% cotton batting, and she said you probably don't need "warm tater" batting. So I am going to make mine with the "warm and natural" that I have on hand.

Your bowl cover looks great! A friend of my daughter gave her a potato bag and she uses it all the time.

Madampolo, do you have a link to the tater bag pattern?

This is a good potato bag video. Please keep in mind, people talk about it catching on fire, but I don't think it should in eight minutes.

I think the fire issue is because of the bags getting dirty from other stuff that splatters out. Good reason to keep the micro clean. lol

I seen something somewhere saying that if you get food on your Potato Bags or Bowl Holders to wash them because they could catch on fire.

OK made 3. One of them was colossal fail. (won't be posting those pics)
I thought why can't I add a quilting design kinda thing to these, so I cut the fabric called for into 4 pieces and put them back together and it gives a bit of interest to them.
