Tutorial: Pot holder & towel set...

These towels are simple to make for your kitchen or make great gifts!

Supplies Needed:

1 potholder

1 hand towel

button

sewing machine/thread

pins

ruler

Instructions:

1.  Fold your towel in half to find the center.  Mark or make a crease where the center is.

2. Using a "looser" stitch on your sewing machine sew a straight line where your crease or line is.  Only back-stitch on one end.

3.  From the end that you did not back-stitch pull one of the threads to make it gathered.  Be careful not to break the thread.  Gather it to the same width as your potholder (when folded).  Tie off the thread.

4.  Fold your potholder in half and pin onto the gathering of the towel. 

You will want to make sure that the loop on the potholder will be on the top once sewn on.

5. Sew a straight stitch in the middle of the potholder and towel.

(I usually sew it twice for a good tight stitch, so that it can be washed over and over)

6.  Sew a button on lining it up with the loop hole.



7.  Done!  Place on your oven door or give it away:)
