When I moved, I left all the potholders and hot pads behind. I’ve been using dish towels to get things out of the oven and folding them to place casseroles on. I decided last night to make myself some hot pads. I used some “ugly” fabric that I had on hand to test these out. 3 layers of 100% cotton batting and some binding and VIOLA! I’ve got myself a couple of hot pads. I won’t use them as potholders because I don’t think they will be insulated well, but they will do for placing hot dishes on. I love small, quick projects. I get a nice sense of accomplishment in very little time.
Quick, easy, and functional

Those are cute. I especially like the one on the left.
