These pot holders with matching dish towels were easy and fun to make.
First, decide how large you want your pot holders, I don't like big, bulky mitts, I prefer something that protects my hands and is easy to grip the edge of a pan. I measured my favorite pot holder and used those dimensions.
So for materials you will need:
fabric for top and bottom of pot holder
3 layers of cotton batting same dimension
1 package bias tape in coordinating color
thread
1 coordinating dish or hand towel
matching fabric for border of towel (2 1/2 in. x the towel width)
Cut the pieces for each.
Then stack the layers.
Pin securely.
Apply the bias tape, I like mitered corners but they are nice with curved edges too.
Machine quilt through the center to hold the layers together. I stitched a dreidel in the center of this festive Hanukah fabric.
For the towel, press 1/4 in down along both long sides of strip.
Pin toward one end. Stitch.
I hope you have fun with this little project!
