Craft Fair Series 2019-Hot Pads! Idea # 69

Cut fabric 10 x 10 -5 pcs
10 x 10 Pelion batting
Enjoy!🌸🌸🌸

[@marleneclausen30]

i taught my mom how to make these over 30 years ago. She LOVED it that the people who she gave or sold them to could never figure it how she made them!

[@SophieBird07]

I’m watching this at 2 AM! I haven’t sewed in quite a while but just hearing the sewing machine makes me want to get up and start sewing again. Great video.Thanks for the inspiration!

[@CraftyCraftsByDeanna]

Aww thank you!

[@barbaraarndt4407]

Last year I sorted out old towels. thick ones which had turned thin - layered they made the perfect batting for potholders. My mother and friends were delighted and I use mine all the time - no special plastic needed, just some thoughtful upcycling. The piggy print is absolutely cute!

[@robertarouse5018]

Barbara Arndt oh what a great idea, my mother also made her pot holders from her old towels. I still have one and they are the greatest.

[@barbaraarndt4407]

@@robertarouse5018 Thank you, Roberta Rouse!

[@nancycrosson6644]

Do you use the towels as batting and place material over it?

[@barbaraarndt4407]

@@nancycrosson6644 That´s exactly what I do, Nancy.

[@aureas]

3 cheers for upcycling--! ✊🏽🎉😁

[@gabbyg561]

What a fun item to make to sell. The fabric is what really sells this hotpad. I love the piggies and plaid together. Thank you for craft fair ideas.

[@drummergirl495]

I know I’ve commented on your pricing before...you’re very talented and $6.00 isn’t enough to pay for fabric, batting, thread, your time and packaging! I think $10-12 should be the price. If I saw this at a show, I wouldn’t hesitate to pay that and be very happy. Great project and I can’t wait to make a few of these for myself. Thank you for a beautiful tutorial!

[@5eagans]

I love this idea! I have been using my friend's scraps from her grandmother to make her things, such as table runners, quilts, pillows, and now I can use the leftover scraps to put together some great hot pads for her! She is going to love the variety of items that were all born from her grandmother's quilt pieces. Many thanks for this idea!

[@CraftyCraftsByDeanna]

You are welcome!

[@meganmills6545]

If you want sharper corners you can leaving your batting to insert and fit inside after you've stitched, trimmed, turned and ironed it but before you top stitch it. Cut the batting a wee bit smaller so it fits inside the seam allowances. This removes bulk from the seam allowances. When you first stitch your seams take a diagonal stitch or two across the corners (which means you do two 45-degree pivots at each corner rather than one 90-degree pivot). You will have a couple of stitches at each corner that line up with the corners you trim off before turning. Depending on the thickness of the fabrics you choose and your stitch length you might need a stitch or two more at the corners.

[@jenniferbrummitt9940]

I love the pig fabric! It is sooo cute!!!..... And I like how you did the zig -zag top stitching at the end, to secure the fabric on top to the fabric on the back. What a great fast and easy project to sew. I think I'll make a few of these to give away to some friends of mine. Thanks for sharing this project! :)

[@cindyzak6817]

I’ve seen these many times! FINALLY see how it’s done! Thanks!

[@BeatlesFanSonia]

I’ve been making these for years. I make them in different sizes. Small ones (around 4”) for coasters! Medium ones (around 6”) for pot holders and those get a layer of insulbrite for heat resistants! I never thought of selling them.

[@billienuhfer447]

It is so sweet of you to share your talents with us!!! Thank you!!! I appreciate it!!! I hope that you have a blessed week!!!💞👍👏

[@brendakirby2186]

Absolutely beautiful. I can tell these are made with high quality fabric. I love these. Great tutorial! Great Christmas gifts. Thanks for sharing! 🐈🌸❤🌷💐

[@CraftyCraftsByDeanna]

Brenda Kirby thank you

[@SandHock]

Absolutely love all of your little projects that you do for the craft fairs! Great source of ideas!

[@lynncobb8992]

Love it thank you. I needed some thing to get me back in the sewing room. Those will be so cute as holiday themed.

[@1959dixie]

I love to learn to sew. I really think I can make that. Thank you for such great instructions

[@teresatierney4817]

I have done this technique with 5 inch squares for coasters. On those, I don't sew the centers down. You can put the base of a goblet inside and the coaster goes with you.

[@robertarouse5018]

Teresa Tierney cute idea for the goblets . I also have made these. Now I will use your idea too.

[@satarabrown-glascomba9369]

Great idea

[@deborahullman9418]

Roberta Rouse I would add another layer of fabric on the other side so batting doesn’t show inside

[@debbiechaney6607]

Very nice project...looking forward to more. Thank you so very much!You voice is so calming and you are so patient and describe everything so well!÷💞

[@solydiaz3401]

I will definitely make some from my scraps. Thanks for sharing!

[@sulabhaghaisas2942]

Lovely cloth combination and finess in stitching .I liked it .

[@madusonkeeper]

Left without center stitching you can use it to keep bread and rolls warm

[@annblachly8068]

Great idea, except I would add another 10.5 piece of fabric to enclose the batting. Thanks.

[@tontoof3]

Don’t forget to sew the sandwiched batting before adding the triangles! That way the batting won’t puff up after washing.

[@susanhouser3676]

I like this a lot. I’ve made several phot pads similar to these and will give for Christmas gifts along with my jalapeño cheese dip and tortilla chips wrapped in gift bags. Simple and fun to make. 🎅🏻🤶🏼 🎄🎁

[@twostepgirl1]

Got to make some of these, when I decide what kind of fabric I want, love how yours turned out. Thank You

[@2626firefly]

This is such a great project! I'm teaching my 13 year old to sew and now can make some for Christmas. We can use up some material and play with decorative stitches too 🙂

[@angel674able]

Thank you for the wonderful tutorial. Will be making these for Christmas gifts. :)

[@foreverflowersbyamanda9724]

These are lovely and so much nicer sewn right across thank you for sharing xx

[@djs0505]

I remember when you made these last year. I'm so glad you did a refresher on them because I've been thinking about making a few. I'm just going to have to find an early craft fair this year because I'm having shoulder replacement surgery on November 20th. I won't be able to use my right arm very much for awhile if I understood the doctor correctly. I was glad to hear your Mom continues to improve. I will keep you both in my prayers. Thanks for Sharing this again with us.

[@denisec8947]

A good idea for placemats too. I have a similar pattern for coasters that would make a great combination for a table setting! Thanks for the idea😊

[@deborahswafford6425]

My sister is the best at making these, thanks Deanna! Beautiful!

[@CraftyCraftsByDeanna]

Deborah Swafford thanks sis!

[@Angie-ik3je]

I saw a bunch of these at a Goodwill, I had no idea what they were for, so thank you Deanna!

[@darlenelyons90]

Thanks for the sale price suggestion!!! I was wondering as pricing seems to always be difficult for me.

[@daviskathi1233]

Those are so cute,and you can also use them to put under cold things as well so they don't leave puddles on your table,like pitchers of ice tea etc.Work great.Tfs

[@PeggySue-RL]

I made one for Christmas party swap n put the layers wrong. Have to watch again. I made with chicken fabric n going to include a recipe for chicken spaghetti. Yum

[@skutovr]

I love this! I once made coasters in this way but didn’t think about making bigger ones for hot pads. So I was thinking if you add one more 10x10 and sandwich the batting you could leave off the top stitching and maintain the folded fabric effect! Thanks for sharing 😍🤩😍

[@kerrypeck8194]

Extra batting on the flip side is a great idea!

[@christynelson1367]

I’m not sure what you mean. Are you suggesting adding the additional square and batting when she is doing the second top stitch and then turning your work? Sorry, my tired brain is drawing a blank 🤪

[@beverlyreynolds5686]

I have no complaints how you did this. Thank you for the tutorial.

[@Lyn4817]

Top Stitch. It pays ti increase your stitch length to a 3.5 or larger. Your seam stitch length is usually best set at about 2.5. Top Stitch is purely ornamental which is why you can use a longer stitch length.

[@stew9stew]

cute piggy fabric! appreciate the info on why it's not for hot oven heat because I may just do that and then say "ouch"!

[@mw54470]

ffstew, the reason it can not be used as a oven hot pad is that it needs a heat insulated piece of batting. You need to put insulbrite in it. It can be purchased at most fabric stores.

[@stew9stew]

@@mw54470 , yes, I couldn't think of that word "insulate" so I explained with "ouch" -- insulbrite is what I need to make an oven mitt one day 👍.
