Instructions
- Using the pattern piece, cut out 2 front pieces and two back pieces and 2 of heat resistant batting. Sandwich the batting in between front and back pieces. Alternatively, if you are going to quilt the potholder, you can cut out only the front piece and sandwich it with squares of batting and the backing that are slightly larger than the front piece and trim the edges after you are done quilting.
- You will also need 48 inches of bias tape. You can either make it or buy it. There are some really cute trims by Vintage Door on etsy.
- Pin the raw edge of the bias tape RST on the raw edge of the potholder sandwich. Fold the lead edge over so the raw edge is not exposed like the picture shown above.
- Sew the bias tape 1/2 inch from the raw edges of the tape and potholder.
- Overlap the end of the tape about an inch or so as shown above
- Using the remaining bias tape stitch the tape closed by sewing 1/8 inch from the raw edge. Cut into 2 strips of 4 inches.
- Pin or clip the overlapped edges of the binding closed so it forms one continuous piece.
- Fold over the back edge of the potholder and pin or clip to hold in place. Fold the 4-inch
fabric strip of bias tape in half and insert under the binding on the corner. - Pin in place. Sew around the tape 1/8 inch on the inside edge of the tape. Backstitch to secure. Repeat for the other pot holder. You are all finished! And now you have the perfect DIY gift for any occasion.
