Here is a little set of pot holders I put together with one of the free designs that I have collected.. I think I will use these two for a gift .. easy to make .they are 7 x 7 and have insul-brite in the center ..

Nice. You did a great job. I like the designs also.

It looks nice!!! Wonderful job on recycling!

Very nice. guess we are all going to follow this one. Great job.

I love when people recycle

very creative, what size needle did you use to do the embroidery....

NIce potholders. Great idea to use the wrong side of the denim. The youth clubs (10-15 yr olds) are having a recycle evening the 27th and I'm in charge of the cloth section. I had thought of drawstring bags and totes, but this is even easier. Thank you for the inspiration. Martine

Very HOT and well done!

great idea and good use of old jeans My sis wants me to make her a bad with old jeand in pach work .

I have tried embroidering on old jeans and it just didn't seem to work for me. Any tricks? I thought by cutting the jeans into 6" squares, they would be perfect to use for test stitch outs. Then I coud sew them all into a rag quilt someday when I had enough. But like I say my machine just doesn't seem to stitch well on denim.

I did not cut these out first.. I embroidered the long part of the back of the leg on the straight of grain with a good stablizer .. then after they were embroidered I cut the size I needed.. came out great..

Very nice!!! *4U
