EPP Bowls

Currently a furor on FB...EPP bowls.

First, Pirate posted one that she did and it was gorgeous. She posted the vendor she got the pattern from, Cake and Ale, and a bunch of us ordered the same bowl. I ordered a couple of others too.

Here is my first 'DOOM Dish'. DOOM stands for 'Didn't Organize, Only Moved'. I have lots of DOOM piles. This will make a DOOM pile that is contained, and movable.  

Edge treatment - I do ladder stitching on the edges

The underside of the dish

Another view of the edging - I am proud to say, my stitching does not show!

The inside of the bowl. The fabric was a bit loose, so I sprayed just the inside with Magic Sizing and when it was dry, the fabric both had shrunk AND was adhered to the paper plate that used as the templates for the bowl. Yippie!

BUT...it seems like its not really getting to live up to its name!

I used it for corraling my little tools in my recent class - there is a wee tomato pincushion in there and I stuck the tape dispenser and the the scissors in when I started sewing. I had a wheel of pins in there too.

This isn't my first 3 dimensional EPP object...

This was an attempt to make a bowl that I did many, many years ago.. it typically holds yarn balls. It has one layer of Peltex...and that was a BEAR to stich thru. The top edges are kind of moldable - I have them curved out.

Back

The seams overlapped - getting the needle in there was really hard!

And the hexies that this bowl were made of are ALL the same size as the DOOM dish's center!
