I’m used to cooking for four. So after my son left home for Clayton to continue his studies, I continued cooking for four! That means only one thing…leftovers!
In my continuing effort to save Mother Earth from shrink wraps, I made this. I got the inspiration from here. Thanks Lindsay. But I tweaked the pattern a little. I did not bind the edge the usual way.
Instead, I fold the bias tape into half and stitch it along the circumference of the fabric circle. Half way thru the circle, I leave a one inch gap for threading the elastic.
Using a bodkin , I inserted the elastic through the casing.
Join the two ends of the elastic by machine. Stitch close the opening and using a zig-zag stitch, I stitched around the edges to prevent fraying.
It looks exactly like a shower cap!
The best part is, it is washable and reusable!
What a great idea! And so much prettier in the fridge than an old piece of plastic. :o) Thanks for sharing! Happy Thursday! :o)
ReplyDeleteThat is totally cool! I love the idea of using a pretty bowl cover instead of plastic wrap...I hate that stuff! I'm definitely going to have to make a couple of those! Thanks for the inspiration, Penny!
