Designer: Christina Sherrod

I created this graphic years ago, using a computer graphics program. I printed it to fabric and made a pot holder. Friends loved it, so I decided to share it on my site. It has been one of my most popular patterns, along with my Christmas cat (see link below).

There is nothing more wonderful than a hand made, unique gift. This potholder is easy to make. Learn how to transfer an image to fabric. Use my free graphic, or one of your own favorite photos or graphics. Add lace, ribbon, and other trim as desired. Use this same technique to make a pot holder for each holiday!

Fabric
Use your own choice of fabric prints and colors. The colors listed below refer to the diagram. I used a darker green for my small border squares (see photo above). These directions refer to the small squares as red.

Green Fabric: enough to make two 4.5" x 4.5" squares.

Red Fabric: a strip that is 24" long by 2v wide

Backing Fabric, Batting & Insulation: 8.75" x 8.75" square

Seam Binding: enough to go around the finished potholder (approximately 36") PLUS enough for the hanging loop (total 41"). Or, you can purchase a plastic or wood ring for hanging the pot holder. You can also make your own binding out of matching fabric. Go to: Continuous Bias Binding Instructions.

Other: ribbons, lace, buttons and other trim
