My newest sewing project is thread bowls. They are eye catching and can be used in various ways. When I finished my first one, I put my fresh fruit in it on the kitchen counter. These are made from material and are reversible and I was told they are washable but have not done that myself yet. If not in the machine, I know they can be hand washed. They start out as you see above with 2 squares of fabric, either the same on each side or 2 coordinating fabric, one on each side of a shaping interfacing and a pattern. After some pressing and sewing, here is the finished product.
The Mizzou ones would be great for snacks while watching the game. I'm trying some Christmas ones thinking they would make nice decorations with colored ball ornaments and possibly a candle but not to light!!!!

I also made a smaller bowl and a leaf bowl that would easily be a candy dish but I made mine to hold my business cards my daughter had made up for me at the craft show in Moberly, Missouri Nov 11-12.
I have also been making some pot holders in Christmas and fall fabric All of this is to get ready for the craft show.

While visiting my daughter in Texas, I purchased pieces needed to put together a sewing work place. You can see my unfinished Mizzou pot holders there. Thanks to my son-in-law for putting the drawer section together and my husband for finishing it when I got it home. Everything has a place!!!!
