This is my first fabric coffee filter. I wanted to test it out before I made more. It works great! I used this pattern. I also used their fabric, but you could use a cotton muslin. I didn’t have any. I also didn’t have any paper filters to trace since I was using the muslin bags, which I don’t recommend. Not cleaning out the muslin bags was motivation number one for me to get a move on for this project.
I know Sarah is moving, but is there any desire for a virtual Skype knit? I miss the company of knitters.
That is a great idea!

I’m the wrong time zone I suspect but if it wasn’t too late here I could join. I have plans on Saturday, going to a friends to watch Belladrum 3 day festival we should have been going to but they are doing a virtual concert on Saturday so that’s exciting. We are going to sit on campchairs in her garden and watch it. Every other day for the next few weeks I’m free.

Does Sunday work for you? What would be a good time? Like 11AM my time is 5PM your time, right? And then I think Marilee could also join, but it would be 8AM, so that may be a tad early for her.

I can do anytime after 5pm we are on British Summertime here, so if that’s too early for Marilee I can do later

I’ll think of you all knitting together while apart – I also miss knitting in company (although I am getting together one at a time with other Quaker Knitting Goddesses) but I don’t have internet at home so don’t do Skype/Facetime/Zoom stuff.

I notice no one’s commented on the coffee filter, being all gung-ho on knitting together! I’m not a coffee drinker, so I don’t get it – why more fabric filters if you don’t want to clean out the muslin bags?

The muslin bags have a narrower opening which makes it tough to fill and clean.

I love the sewn coffee filter. I wonder if I could make one for my drip machine. I am picking up a U Haul at 1 EST on Sunday, but if you do it again the next week I’m in!
