Folksy Potholders


A few potholders for my Aunts Kendra and Gin, using the same fabric as their respective bags.  A word to the wise: never making a binding out of that heavy outdoor fabric.  Unless you have a heavy duty machine and enjoy a little bit of a struggle, that is.

On the leftmost potholder I made a loop using the binding.  It was hard, and didn't exactly turn out beautifully, but I fixed it up with a few hand stitches.  It might be worth another attempt.  You can see I didn't even bother on the second one, though.

The loops are a cute touch but really my least favorite part of the process.  And most people I know keep their potholders stashed in a drawer so I've gotten more and more lazy when it comes to making them.
