potholdertutorial

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.

This tutorial is for personal use only. Please don’t sell items made using this pattern.

Pin the ribbon or cord to the top of the coloured fabric, like the pictured shows.

Cut the corners (not too close to the stitching) and turn your work. Carefully pushing out the corners from the inside with a pencil. Iron the porholder and pin the gap together as neatly as possible.

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.

Then use the mattrass-stitch to close.

Your potholder is finished!
