The other day, while out perusing Pinterest, I came across the cutest
Easter Egg shaped potholders. They looked so cute and when I clicked on the link, there was a
tutorial at Miss Mary's Sewing Classes on how to make them.
Pattern included. Sew, you know I had to give them a try. Here is my first attempt.
 |
| Not quite as smooth and even as I'd like, but not bad. |
 |
| It kind of looks like I took a bite out of the egg. It's where I hand stitched it closed after turning it. |
 |
| This really is the perfect size potholder |
 |
| I added an extra layer of plain batting on top of the Insult-Bright for a little more protection. I plan on using the potholder and just using Insult-Bright usually isn't enough. I hope this one turns out a little smoother and egg-shaped. |
This only took an hour, that included printing out the pattern, cutting enough for two potholders and finishing one potholder. I think they will look really cute for Easter (and beyond).
I did work on my
Express Your Love quilt and
embroider a set of towels. My big find this week, was a
quilt top that my grandmother made. It will definitely go on my WIP list. Hopefully, it gets done faster for me that my grandmother or mother! ;)
