This year I sewed up a bunch of last minute pot holders for Christmas gifts for my kids teachers, girl scout leaders, dance instructor, and friends that I wanted to express gratitude for how much they do for us all year long.
Yes, I realize that I am a little late posting them, but they were last minute after all!
I even used them as stocking stuffers for a few family members. They use just a little bit of fabric and friends are always impressed that you actually made them!
And if your like me, I always feel guilty buying something new for people when I have plenty of scrap fabric that I can use to make something thoughtful.
I used a fat quarter bundle that I bought last year made by Makower UK. They always have really fun and festive Christmas and holiday prints.
You can find my pattern for the I like to add a little top stitching to pot holders because I think it adds a little more of a professional feel to them. I really like how it turned out with the patchwork panel.
I’m not sure how I always end up doing some last minute Christmas sewing, but at least it is a good reason to catch up on all my binge watching while I am cutting and sewing away.
I just started watching Twin Peaks, which I totally can’t believe I didn’t watch when I was younger ( I am a child of the 80’s after all), but after the remake and hearing everyone rave about it all the time I decided it was time to finally watch it. They says its a cult classic right?
Since the cold days of winter are here and I will have more time inside to sew and binge TV I need to find some new shows to watch. What do you like to watch while your sewing?
It is not easy (in fact impossible) to download the pattern for the pot holder.
