Blissful Bloom Fabric Bowl Tutorial

Greetings, friends!

I’m so happy you’re here to read all about my monthly Therm O Web tutorial project—I’m excited to share a fresh, flower-inspired summer design with you today! With the 4th of July just around the corner, I’ve been reaching for those classic red, white, blue, and green tones—such a timeless palette for celebrating the season while adding a soft, handmade touch to your home décor.

If you enjoy projects that are both beautiful and functional, you’re going to love sewing up my Blissful Bloom Fabric Bowl. This is a relaxed, beginner-friendly project that comes together with a wonderfully forgiving technique—so there’s no need to worry about perfection. Whether you’re just starting your sewing journey or looking for a fun, stress-free make, this is a project you can truly enjoy from start to finish.

One of my favorite things about my Blissful Bloom Fabric Bowl is how easy it is to personalize. Simply change up your fabric choices to create a completely different look. Go with a patriotic theme for the holiday, soft florals for summer, or pull from your stash to design something uniquely yours. These medium-sized bowls are also incredibly versatile—perfect for holding yarn or sewing supplies, organizing lotions or makeup, displaying guest towels, or even serving up a few snacks for a festive gathering.

You can find the full step-by-step tutorial (plus printable templates) over on the Therm O Web blog:

To make your own Blissful Bloom Fabric Bowl, gather the following:

• Bliss for Jelly Rolls 100% Cotton Batting (NEW from Therm O Web!)
• 6 jelly roll strips (or 2.5" x width of fabric strips)
• SpraynBond Basting Adhesive Spray
• SpraynBond Pattern & Stencil Spray
• HeatnBond Fabric Fuse Liquid Adhesive
• Wool felt for the flower and optional leaves
• A button for the flower center
• A Clover Fabric Tube Maker is extremely helpful, but not required
• Basic sewing tools (machine, thread, Wonder Clips, scissors, etc.)

🌼 Featuring a New Favorite from Therm O Web

This project was such a joy to create, especially because I got to work with some fantastic Therm O Web products—most notably the NEW Bliss 100% Cotton Batting for Jelly Rolls. It pairs perfectly with pre-cut strips, making the prep process simple and enjoyable (no need to cut batting!), and it gives the finished bowl a soft yet structured feel that holds its shape beautifully. The NEW Bliss for Jelly Rolls comes in both 2.25" and 2.5"—and it comes in 25 yard or 50 yard rolls.

Combined with SpraynBond adhesives and HeatnBond Fabric Fuse, these products make each step smoother—from holding layers in place while sewing to easily attaching the sweet flower embellishment. I always love when the right products and tools take the guesswork out of the process and let the creativity shine!

I hope this Blissful Bloom Fabric Bowl tutorial inspires you to carve out a little creative time for yourself this summer. Whether you’re decorating for the 4th of July, organizing your space, or simply enjoying a relaxing sewing session, this project is a lovely way to celebrate the season with something handmade.

Be sure to head over to the Therm O Web blog for the complete tutorial, and if you make one, I would absolutely love to see it! Feel free to share your version and tag me so I can admire your beautiful work.

Wishing you a joyful, creative summer—and a happy 4th of July filled with sunshine, stitching, and a little bit of Bliss!
