Get rid of the saran wrap, and make these easy (reusable!) bowl covers with a bit of leftover fabric!
Choose any lightweight cotton or cotton blend fabric you like.
1. Spread the fabric wrong side up on your worktable. Invert your bowl on the fabric.
2. Measure out from the rim 1 1/2 inches and mark a circle all the way around the bowl. Remove the bowl and cut out the fabric circle.
3. If you wish, bind the edge of the circle with bias tape. (Bias tape is not necessary, it just gives the covers a more finished look). Then place the circle wrong side up in your sewing machine, with the edge under the presser foot. Lay a narrow piece of elastic on top of the edge and sew a few zigzag stitches over it. Stretch the elastic and continue to zigzag it to the edge, adjust the elastic and your hands as needed until you’ve sewn all the way around.
