I keep saying this month has been a busy month - I just can't help it - this month has been crazy! My Grandma has been in the Hospital and that's been filling up every spare moment we have! Before she got sick My Mom, Aunt, and I decided to sign up for a Sewing Class. Somehow we all managed to get Grandma taken care of and still make the class.
I'm so happy we did manage to get the class in - we were all exhausted but it felt good to unwind for a couple of hours and do a little crafting! at the Class we made Pot Holders / Oven Mitts. Of course mine had to be made with Stampin' Up! fabric!!
I made one with the Sweet Stitches Designer Fabric
and even used the Melon Mambo Pom Poms for my trim! How stinkin cute is this...
Now I'll admit - my sewing skills are nothing to write home about - and making the trim look this good did require some "Mom" help!! But it actually wasn't too hard!!
I also made one featuring the Springtime Vintage Designer Fabric
I added a little Navy Blue Rick a Rack trim for this fabric. I think it give a nice punch of darker color.
I was able to get two Pot Holders / Oven Mitts out of the Fabric packs (with fabric left over for another project) and I thought it would be fun to make a set but change up the pocket fabrics...
These were so easy to make - Even a newer sewer could get a set made up pretty quickly!!
If you want to add these fabrics to your stash, order today.
ETA: For those of you who have asked - This is the pattern I used on this project

I added info about the pattern to the blog post - thanks for your interest!! :) and Kim... There is a pocket in the potholder - where the rounded flap is folded down - you can use these as a potholder or an oven mitt! :)

Is there a pocket in the potholder and can you give the dimensions and where you got the pattern - it's something different I'd like to try. thanks
