#quick sew

It’s not the neatest thing I’ve ever made, but hopefully it’ll warm my poor dog. This cold wave has not been kind to my old girl.

Taco warmer DIY

I was looking for a taco warmer tutorial, and came across a great one with edging. But I had only a limited time today to make chili, tacos and the warmer to put them in, so I modified it into this quicker version. 

 1) cut out 4 circles of patterned fabric, or 2 of a lining variety and 2 patterned. Cut out 2 circles of batting. All fabrics and the thread should be natural of origin if you plan on microwaving it. 

 2) arrange the circles into two piles with the batting on top, then the patterned fabric and then the lining, right sides together. 

 3) sew the 3 layers together, leaving a small open edge to turn them inside out. Do this with both piles.

4) turn them inside out. 

5) tuck in the edge on the open part, make it stay using needles. 

6) put the two circles on top of each other, sew them together on the edge leaving a small open edge to add and later on access the tacos. 

7) turn it inside out if you prefer, or leave it like it is. 

8) have a Marguerita or a Paloma to celebrate.
