Two handed pot holder
Gather and cut supplies.
One piece 24"x8" terry cloth. You could use an old bath or dish towel for this if you want.
2 – 5” x 8” terry cloth
2 – 5” x 8” batting or Insulbrite
2 – 5” x 8 fabric
½ inch bias tape (or make your own
First quilt together the layers of your two outside pockets, terry on the bottom, them
batting, then fabric.
Place your pocket pieces back on the
long piece so you can figure out which
edge you want facing in, which are the
edges that need bias tape. This might
not matter to your design, but for
instance if you want to have a fork on
the left and a knife on the right, you
don't want to mess this up. Cut strips
of bias tape about 8" long for these
inner edges.
Now you have bias tape on the inside
edges of the pockets. Pin the corners
back onto the long piece. The time has
come to attach more bias tape all the
way around the whole thing.
You can do the corners however you like, but I like them rounded. I've found that it's easier
for me to leave them uncut like this, then pin the first side of the tape down in a curve.
Then I sew and then cut the corners after, so that all the layers are even with the edge of the
tape. Stitch down the other side of the tape and you are done.
You can attach a loop in the very center on the top side if you want.
