| My test potholder is on the bottom. My "real" one is on top. |
I (finally) finished my selvage project. I wanted to make something that I would actually use. And I wanted it to be simple. Potholders. I made the first one (it has the polka dot binding) as a test. I wasn't sure how to sew the selvages together and I wasn't sure what to put between the front and back. I know there is a product that you can buy to use in potholders, but I didn't want to go buy anything new. So I used 2 layers of a thick towel. An old towel. It is really thick and stiff though. For the second potholder, I only use one layer of the towel. I'm not sure if it would be safe to pick up a really hot dish with, but it would be great to put a hot dish on. I also sewed the selvages to the towel for the second potholder. It was easier to manage that way and it looks neater. In the first potholder I used just a variety of random selvages with no theme in mind. The second one, I decided to use only polka dot selvages. I like it. I think I like the second one better than the first. But I'll use both of them. Unless my daughter steals one.
