I have chosen a plaid wool from The Red Saltbox and another brown that I have used in several of my hooked rugs.
1.
Start by drawing a triangle (mine is 9 1/2" on each side.) Round off each
of the three points. 2. Cut one triangle from each of your two fabrics and
place right sides together. 3. Sew the two together using a 1/4" seam
allowance, leaving approx. 1 1/2" open to turn right sides out. Be sure to
clip curved edges and trim corner seam allowances to eliminate bulk. 4. Whip-
stitch opening and press. 5. Pinch the center of each of the sides together and
top stitch close to the edge for approx. 2" from base. 6. Fold each of the
rounded points to the outside and sew a button to hold in place. Voila!! You
have your snippet bowl!
Pretty
cool! Mine turned out to be about 4 1/2" wide on each side and 2"
high. Hope you enjoy your snippet bowl. By the way, it would be easy to make
this larger if you wish, but I think the little ones are cute. I'm starting to
think of other uses for these. How about one by the sink for your rings! They
could hold buttons, or change, or your thimble and measuring tape.
Linda, Very cute - Thank you! I suppose this would keep pieces of wool from hanging off the back of my husbands shorts during a baseball game. I noticed something hanging from his back pocket Saturday when he was coaching third base - dismissed it thinking it was his stop watch (didn't know why he'd have it during game - but who knew). He came over to me between innings 5 & 6 and handed me a piece of left over wool! Too funny. ~Ann
ReplyDeleteLOL, Ann! That is too funny!!

Thank you, Gayle. You won't need luck with your sewing ability! It is simple and the finished result is so cute. I'm planning to make more of them.
