About

Personally I love cooking and baking, although I must admit that recently I haven't been as active in the kitchen as I used to. Another little confession is that I created this initially for myself, as an incentive to start baking again all the dessert recipes passed down to me by my mother. I hope making this Pot Holder will make you want to cook and bake some more!

  2. 2

    Take pieces 1 and place piece 9 in between them. Make sure that the right sides of pieces 1 are facing out. Measure 1" diagonally from one corner to start quilting. Quilt 45° lines 1" parallel to each other. Repeat the same process perpendicular to these lines.

  3. 3

    Take piece 3 and 4 sew them together length wise. Take piece 2 and attach it on the left side of pieces 3 and 4. This will be the front part of the pot holder's pocket. For the back of the pocket we are using piece 5. Place piece 10 in between the front and back of the pocket and quilt it making small rectangles every ½” inside of each rectangle.

  4. 4

    Make a ruffle with piece 8 by folding it in half and basting the open side. You can do this by hand or by setting the straight stitch of your machine at its longest. Pull the thread in order to gather the fabric until it measures the same as the pocket piece. Sew the ruffle on top of the pocket piece and bind it using piece 6.

  5. 5

    Take piece 7 and fold it in half with the right side of the fabric facing in. Sew it length wise and turn it inside out.

  6. 6

    Place the pocket piece on top of piece 1 aligning them at the bottom and bind them using piece 11. Leave an opening on the right top corner of the binding to insert piece 7 to create a hook. Voilà!
