How about some potholders?

Let's be brutally honest here....
Most of us have some pretty nasty potholders.
A little burned at the edges and covered in
*ew* old crusty spaghetti sauce or melted on cheese! (or both!)
Isn't it time for a fresh pair?
This is a pattern I've shared with you before and you can find the free download HERE.
I just love the sew4home website! So many cool free patterns.
Anyhoo....
this is super FTS (fun to sew) and they come
together fairly quickly.
I also love that you slide your hands inside these potholders
so I guess you'd actually have to call them oven mitts :)
And how about making some as Christmas gifties?
Make a few....you still have time!!!

I quilted these in a 1" grid pattern.

And I quilted these in 1" vertical stripes.
That's another thing I love about this pattern!
You can do whatever you like as far as the quilting goes!
How fun is that????

  2. I love the brown ones with the fork pattern! I have to admit my pot holders are terrible. I've actually asked Santa for some to replace my old stained, ripped up ones.

  4. I love pot holders that I can 'slide my hand into' I have numerous scars on the backs of my hands from mishaps with the oven.

  5. You are a dear for sharing this. I just tried creating a design on my own that was a complete disaster. This will go so well with the aprons and kitchen towels I've been making for holiday gifts. Thanks so much!
