Tutorial: Halloween spiderweb potholders

Maris from Sew Maris shares a tutorial at Sew Mama Sew showing how you can make these spiderweb potholders.  They measure 10″ x 10″ when finished, which is plenty big to protect your hand from a hot pan or cookie sheet.  You could also use these as hot pads for the table.  Or, made on a larger scale, they could be cute placemats.  Her tutorial shows how to make one with sharp mitered corners and also a rounded corner version.

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.

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.
