Note: all seams are 1/4 inch. Always iron between steps.

Sewing Supplies: Very sharp, small sewing scissors, quilting pins, large sewing ruler, fabric marking pencils, seam ripper, rotary cutter and mat
hint: quilting pins are easier to use than regular pins; a tupperware box works well as a supply box.

Safety Reminders For Little Helpers

A. Always have an adult do all the ironing!
B. Never run with scissors. Carry them pointed end down.
C. Never use a sewing machine without adult supervision.
D. Always let an adult use the seam ripper for you.

Now you are ready to start!

Please Note: It is a good idea to pre-wash and iron all fabric before beginning.

Spring Basket Pot Holder



Supplies Required (choose your own colors: I will refer to colors in picture above)

One 9.5" square piece of hot pad insulation.
NOTE: Visit our store for INSULATION and HEAT RESISTANT CLOTH. We sell Insul-Bright which is an effective insulation for hot pads and oven mitts. We also sell therma flec cloth, which is a silver cloth that is scorch proof to 390 degrees.

One fat quarter EACH of pink floral, purple solid, and blue
One 9.5" square of white for backing
Two 9.5" squares of batting (cotton is best)
NOTE: Unless you use proper insulation, use this item as a decorative hot pad only.

Paper for drawing pattern pieces (I use freezer paper, bought on a roll at Costco)
