    Oilcloth Bowl Covers - in downloads

    Oilcloth Bowl Covers



    Supplies:

    1/2 yard oilcloth- this should cover 4-6 bowls, depending on size

    1/4 " elastic (or around that size)

    Pinking Shears (optional, also. I just like the look )

    Mixing bowls



    Instructions:
    1. Take the mixing bowl you would like to cover and place it, rim down, on the wrong side of the oilcloth. Trace around the bowl, adding 2 inches. I used my ruler and marked 2 inches about every 3 inches and then "connected the dots"







    By all means, measure and use a compass if you can find one of the 15 you know your family has SOMEWHERE in the house.



    2. Use your pinking shears to cut out the oilcloth along that line. Then mark a line 1 inch in from the outside edge. This will be your sewing line. I really just eyeballed this. (I'm pretending I'm left handed )



    3. Now we need to measure for the elastic. Measure the circumference of the line you just drew and multiply that by 2/3 and then subtract 1 inch. For example: if your circumference measures 33" then 2/3 of that would be 22", subract 1" and your elastic measurement will be 21".


    4. Mark your elastic into quarters and do the same for your oilcloth circle. This will help you in getting the elastic sewn on evenly.





    5. Sew on the elastic using a zigzag stitch, stretching the elastic to match your marks.




    Place the cover on your bowl and admire your work! Thanks for looking and as always, feel free to ask any questions!

    Thanks Kelli! Very simple, but I'd have never thought of it.
