Instant Pot Cover 2: Free Pattern + Recipe
Instant Pot Cover Version 1
Do you Instant Pot? Some of our favorite sewists do, and they’ve teamed up to offer their twists on our Instant Pot Cover pattern.
Our Instant Pot Cover project is an instant winner! It’s popularity might be due to the fact that so many people were gifted an Instant Pot over the holidays. Or maybe because it’s National Soup Month and everyone is making yummy soups and stews. Or maybe it’s because the project is amazing and is easily completed in no time at all. Whatever the reason, we hope you join in and make yourself an Instant Pot Cover version, too!
Katrina Walker, one of our Instant Pot Cover testers, came up with this stunning design for her Instant Pot.
She added floral embroideries using a brand new Sulky 12 wt wooly thread. It’s not even a product available yet (as Katrina says: Consider this a sneak peek!), but the Sulky 12 wt. cotton Petites is a great substitute.
Katrina paired the thread with a wool fabric. Using the Sulky Stabilizer Selection Tool, the recommended stabilizer for this fabric/technique combo is Sulky Stiffy. It provides excellent stability during embroidery while tearing away easily once embroidery is complete.
She also added piping to the upper edge of the Instant Pot Cover version. It adds a nice professional finish to the pattern that complements the elegant embroideries even further.
You won’t want to miss Katrina’s delicious creamy chicken soup recipe–it’s at the end of her post.

I was the Postmaster in Wilson Creek, Wa for 17 years where Katrina grew up. Didn’t know her but knew her Mom and brother. It’s great to see articles about people from where you live and work. Can’t wait to share this article so those in my area can see what Katrina has been up to lately.

I just saw this project and would like to know what size of Instant Pot the pattern is designed for. 6 quart? 8 quart? or smaller?
Ellen March
It’s designed for a 6-qt Instant Pot. To enlarge it you just need to measure the pot and adjust the fabric rectangle and base pieces accordingly, taking seam allowances into account.

This is a lovely project, and the filaine thread looks great. I was looking for the embroidery designs and couldn’t find any link or reference to them.
