HOLIDAY POTHOLDER HOW-TOS

The Snow Sweets Cookie Cutter kit comes with the potholder pattern and full instructions. Here’s an overview to understand the process.

First, cut out the required pieces out of the fabric, insulated batting and batting.

Either follow the instructions on the Potholder Pattern to embroider the fabric before construction, or quilt evenly spaced straight lines diagonally across each potholder piece. Use the Poly Star thread to add a touch of glitter to the project!

Bind the raw edges of the pocket openings that will be exposed.

Place the “pockets” over the back potholder piece, pin or clip to secure.

Bind the edges, securing all the layers, adding the hanging loop and hiding the loop raw edges in the binding seam.

Hand sew the binding fold along the potholder back.

To use the potholder, slip your hand inside the pockets and fold to grip the hot dish.

Finally, hang the potholder from the hanging loop for festive storage.
