The Mixing Bowls Pattern is a fantastic introduction to the world of clothesline bowls, packed with helpful hints and guidance for those trying this technique for the first time.
Clear instructions walk you through the process, building confidence as you stitch and shape each bowl.
With just thirteen 10-inch squares, you can make all three bowls included in the pattern — a small, medium, and large — making this a great value project that’s both practical and fun.
The narrow fabric strips are easy to prepare, especially when cut using the Creative Grids Stripology XL, turning what could feel tedious into a smooth, stress-free step.
A jean or topstitch needle is recommended for stitching through the layers, helping ensure smooth sewing and a professional finish.
Once you start, you may find it hard to stop — these bowls are endlessly useful and wonderfully giftable.
Finished bowl sizes include:
Small: 3in x 6in
Medium: 4in x 7in
Large: 5in x 9in
Perfect for organising sewing rooms, holding small household items, or giving as handmade gifts, these bowls quickly become everyday favourites.
