Free pattern: Penguin Pot Holder

Pot holders also known as Heat pads are perfect little weeknight projects. Perfect for scrap fabrics and small handmade gifts that will actually be used in the kitchen. If you love hot pads as much as I do, then you may want to check out some of our favorite designs for sewing patterns we found on Etsy.

shares a free pattern at So Sew Easy for making this cute penguin pot holder.  He’s a handsome guy with a bow tie around his neck.  He’s made like a mitt (or puppet) so your hand is covered on the front and the back.   He would make a nice holiday gift!

  1. This was so adorable, I had to make one. I finished it today. While it is the perfect size for a teenager, my hand barely fit into it. It definitely would not fit a man’s hand. If I were to do this one again, I’d enlarge the size of the main body by at least 25%.

Easy Cosmetics Bag Sewing Pattern

The bag is simple, uses very little fabric (about 2/3rds of a fat quarter), has no fussy inside pockets (although you can add your own if you like), and takes me well less than 30 minutes to print the pattern, cut out and sew. But quick and simple doesn’t mean it’s not awesome!

It’s the sort of bag that is versatile enough to be used for lots of applications, not just cosmetics and toiletries. Keep all your pens and pencils in order, use it for a small first aid kit for the car, keep it in your desk at work for a few headache pills and other personal supplies.

Make some for yourself, for gifts or to sell.
