What you need:
- Old sheet or about 2 yards of fabric
- A piece of paper or newspaper to make template
- Sewing machine or needle and thread
- Scissors
- Thread
- Coordinating Bias Tape
Directions:
- Trace a circle on your paper with a diameter of 7 inches and cut out.
- Use this template to cut out 5 circles of fabric for every potholder, for example, if you wanted 4 potholders you would cut out 20 circles. Tedious I know, but if you layer the fabric and then cut out the circles it subtracts a lot of time, just make sure you are cutting out good circles.
- Pile the 5 circles on top of each other with the one’s of the outer sides faced right side out. This is what the potholder looks like without being sewn together so make sure this is what you want it to look like here.
- Sew a star pattern (or a different shape if you prefer) through the 5 circles. Be careful to go slow when you sew because the fabric will be really thick. Trim the sides if they shifted during sewing.
- Sew on bias tape to the outer edge for the finished look. Be sure to fold the end down before you sew over it to make it look nice.
Viola! A potholder!
