Just had to make this pot holder sewn in under 10 minutes! Have put Insulbrite in between the fabrics so I can pull things out of the oven or even place a hot casserole dish on top. Love and blessings Chris

The floral fabric is pretty. I'm still using a few of those pot holders that my daughter made on the loom that are practically indestructible. lol

You can never have enough of them, can you? Love Chris
by capoodle 06 Mar 2012
I have a basket full of them. My son likes the mitten type so I made him up some using a blue stripe heavy towel. Couldn't get Insulbrite so cut up an ironing board cover.
by shirlener88 06 Mar 2012
Wow - how wonderful to have so many and that they are practically indestructible, too.

I occasionally burn the edges and have quite a few to prove it.

This is the YouTube video about how to do them. Love Chris

I think an embroidery design on it would be a nice added touch.

I love the colours!
Chris, am I right in assuming the top is made of 4 rectangles? Cut 4 squares the size of the potholder, fold them each in half and weave them together, use a fifth square as the back - or do the back same way as the front - turn them with insulbrite in between? At least that's what I would do to copy yours. Same method would work for small coasters as well.

Yep, that's how it's done. 6 x 10 inch squares. Place first one face down, put on insulbrite, lay next piece face up, then fold the other 4 in half and place them one on bottom, left, top and then the right but lift up the bottom one and
by pennifold 06 Mar 2012
tuck the one that is on the right underneath. Then sew all around. Cut off corners and fold inside out. I put a bow on it to hang it up. Just look for 10 minute pot holder in YOUTUBE. Love Chris

These are wonderful. One of our fabric shops was selling the kits for these with the instructions. If anyone would like the written instructions I would be happy to post it. Watching the video really helps put it together. Love your color choices Chris. Hugs..Carol

Nice - we did coasters like this at the sit and sew - using the 5" squares - they were fun to do.
