Potholders are simple and easy




I grew up re-using items as a way of life ... very little was ever thrown away . One of the simplest and enjoyable things to make for your hose is potholders 
 I enjoy making my own potholders out of scrap fabrics or even old clothes that I have laying around from other projects. The inside padding i used is an old flannel baby blanket a friend had given me to reuse....
There are many ways to make potholders. I simply cut the squares or rectangles out and put them together with a YARN TYE ........  Most folks quilt them though ...that takes a bit more time ..

I am absolute horrible at writing directions so i thought i would share other folks ways to make potholders :)

  1. Nice idea of of maximizing the use of scrap fabric into pot holders. Zero waste is good to help our mother earth.
