tutorial
by www.vlijtig.blogspot.com
This tutorial is for personal use only. Please don’t sell items made using this pattern. For making two potholders you’ll need:
* 2 pieces of linnen of 16,5x21cm
* 2 pieces of linnen of 10x16,5cm
* 2 pieces of coloured cotton of 16,5x21cm
* 2 pieces of fyberfill of 16,5x21cm
* 2 ribbons of 12cm
* linnen-coloured thread

Lay one of the larger pieces of linnen on top of a piece of fiberfill.

Stitch across the two layers in a pattern you like. The one shown is
stitched in lines from one side to the other. The main goal is to get
the two materials together, which makes it easier to work with later
on in the proces.

Fold the smaller piece of linnen in lenght. Pin it to

the bottom of the coloured fabric, with the fold up.
Stitch a line of 1,5cm, 4cm from both sides (marked
on the template), to attach the piece of fabric.
 Pin the ribbon or cord to the top of the
coloured fabric, like the pictured shows.

Now it is time to attach the two layers to

eachother. Lay the linnen and coloured
fabric on top of eachother, with good sides
facing inwards. Put in some pins and sew
around the edges, leaving a gap of about 6
cm for turning the potholder.

Cut the corners (not too close to the stitching) and

turn your work. Carefully pushing out the corners Then use the mattrass-stitch to close.
from the inside with a pencil. Iron the porholder and
pin the gap together as neatly as possible.

Your potholder is finished!
