 I've decided that my friends Christmas gift this year will be potholders. I haven't made them in a while and I have a new HUGE supply of Insulbrite. I really just started making these 4 for my friend. This is my own pattern that you can find here.  Then I looked over to the cutting table and, since I had everything out, I thought I might as well start on Christmas gifts. It will be a great project to work on between now and our trip in August. I don't want to start a quilt and I could come back for vacation with half of my Christmas tasks done.  I've got a lot of Insulbrite cut and this many potholder kits cut out. There are lots more kits to cut and all of the cotton batting.  These are the ones I'm working on now. I think I'll cut straight for a few days and then get going on the sewing. I'm trying to make a wide variety and am taking some fabrics from each of my little (or big) stashes. It's fun to make these little projects. I'm trying to channel my inner Patty and her massive tote-making binge.

There are a lot of us thinking of Christmas in July! Great little manufacturing line you have going.

Always nice to get ahead. Thanks for the reminder about the potholders. Since I have the supplies, I will start making kits. I do enjoy a production line.

Your potholders are fancier than mine although I did use some silk screen scraps I had gotten somewhere years ago. I had to laugh at the inner Patty comment. I do get in a groove and I just wanted to get all the fabric I had for tote bags cut. I haven't been very productive this week - I was tired from standing for 10 -12 hours a day. Getting these done now will sure give you time for other activities that arise.

I did potholders for everyone on my list a couple years ago so I suppose it's too soon to repeat them. B'sides my stash of Insulbrite is down to scraps and I'd have to get more. Comments are closed.
