StitchedImpressions Peppers we have been collecting in Community/Freebies. Nora and I just made a pot handler, out of a potholder,2 for $1. at dollar tree. We made this for her mom. Nora had to go to the ER with a fever that would not break,104.5 Wednesday night. Was an ear infection. So with taking care of sick kids, this is about all the emb we can get done. With an earache, she has been crying like this pepper, so I thought it would be the right design.-Toogie
109788Wish I had found the 'crying' pepper. It is perfect for the pot holder.

Lidia, Nora is probally my last chance to get a seamstress or embroirder in the family, so I hope she remains interested. Her great-grandmothers on both sides sewed and quilted, so maybe she will. I hope so-T
78119Hope Nora is much better by now. Using a pot holder to make a pot handler is a nice job. Love that hot stuff pepper/Lillian

I almost didn't collect them, in sewmoms freebie posts. Now I am glad I did, as it turned out well. Thanks!

Wish I had collected them. Now I can't find designs of the right size to fit the pot holders. Any suggestions?

Just keep watching and collecting. You'd be surprised how something you collected a long time ago, may work out fine. At the time, I didn't have a use, but thats why I collect freebies, you never know. Check your designs, you may have something useful.
145791Can tell you made things better. She really loves to watch the machine make neat picture. She is a cutie and you both made great panholder.

360671Poor Nora, hope she's feeling much better. Ear pain is the worst and not much you do for it without seeing the dr. She is so cute and so is your panhandler.

Thank you for both. I always wanted to try these and it was easy to cheat with a cheap potholder.
23282So cute. Hope it made her feel better and forget the ear ache. Hugs

She is curious .Not too painful today, but I didn't think the sitter could give her the attention she wanted/needed today.
52686Hope she'll all better. Earaches are not fun. Love the pepper good job.

She is fairly quiet, hasn't started talking much yet, but she absorbs everything. I had to show her how it slips on the handle.
158718Very good idea!!! I got the set of Panhandler Designs from Sick last year, but have not done any of them yet, so much to each one. This I can do in spades!!! I wanted to make them for family & friend Christmas gifts. One of my holdups, would they be big enough for their pan handles??? With this one I do not have tat concern!!! Thanx bunches! Hugs, Judy

This fits over my small or large iron skillets. I can't make them any cheaper, at fifty cents each. Just had to emb on one side,fold in half and sew one end and side.Finished!

This is the first one I made. I haven't sold any. I bought the blank potholders, 2 in a pack, for $1.00, so that made them cost me fifty cents each. Is that what you misunderstood? I said or meant, it would probally cost more than fifty cents,to use my own fabric and buy the insulbrite or whatever, for them. I went the easy way out.
9239166028she is such a little doll & looks to be doing much better too, happy to hear that. Your pan holder is very cute & such a good idea too. ~hugs~

Thanks Devon, see her bracelet and rings I drew for her. I wasn't here when mom picked her up, Papa was, so I didn't get scolded.-lol- The real bracelet she wears on her ankle,never fools with it, but wouldn't wear it on her arm.
72397Poor little mite, I used to suffer greatly from those as a child, I well remember the pain. Even now when I get them I lay that side on something that holds heat and try to just sleep. Grammie is doing all the right things. :-)
