I often find vintage hot pads at estate sales, but never know quite what to do with them. Here’s a cool idea from Sarah from Sadie Seasongoods. She shows how you can turn a pair of vintage hot pads into the cutest coin purse. They’re sewn together to make the pouch, with interfacing to give it structure and a simple Velcro closure at the top. If you can’t find two matching hot pads, you could use vinyl for the back.
