Pot Holders & A Work in Progress






I have been sewing like crazy the past couple of days. I've been working on various Christmas gifts and a few things for myself. When I went upstairs the other day to look for some fabric for said projects, I found this:
I had to snap a picture! Cricket is his name and he turned 17 this year.


I needed some new potholders so I found a tutorial and made these:



You can find the oven mitt tutorial I used here. I really liked the shape of the mitt and went through dozens of potholder tutorials to find this one. There is also a fingertip mitt but I didn't make one of those. I didn't think I would use it very much.


The potholder pattern I made up. It is just two 9 inch fabric squares, 3 layers of batting, binding and a loop.




I've got plenty of sewing left to do before the holidays! I'm working on these blocks and will post about what I made from them soon!
