Hot Pads/Pot Holders (Easy Sewing Project For Beginners)

Hi there, Happy Monday 💕

I was looking for easy project to sew last weekend and suddenly came to my mind that I have to replace the old hot pads in our kitchen. So, I went to search inside my stash and found two pieces of leftover cotton fabrics. Yay 😍

For the size, I made exactly like my old ones and added different lines of top-stitching. The final size is 16 cm x 16 cm square, perfect size for me, not too big or small.

I made 2 pairs (4 pieces) of hot pads and here are the material:

- 18 cm x 18 cm of cotton fabrics (8 pieces).

- 20 cm x 20 cm of polyester batting (4 pieces)

- 12 cm long of 2 cm wide of fabric band (4 pieces)

The sewing process was easy and fast, I started by pinning the polyester batting and cotton fabric together.

And laid another cotton fabric on top, right sides together and pin around.

I marked 10 cm to the fabric.

Also, folded and pinned the fabric band on one corner 1.5 cm away from the side.

I sewed the square except the marked space and trimmed the excess polyester batting.

Trimmed the corners a little to make the corner neat after turning out.

I turned the fabric inside out through the opening space and with a help of stick I press the corner to make it neater.

Folded the opening space at the seam allowance 1 cm, pinned it and top-stitched it 0.50 cm.

After that, I top-stitched again from one corner to another in both sides.

The pot holders/hot pads were done in less than two hours, easy and fast to sew and we can use scrap leftovers. Also, these little project can be good Christmas gift as well and I will make more in festive colors to give to my friends and family 💗
