Tutorial: Potholder loopers from old t-shirts

by

potholderfromtshirtsWhen I was a kid, I had one of those potholder looms.  You know, the ones where you would weave cotton loopers to make potholders for your mom and grandmom?  They still make them, though now the loopers they sell are made from some icky polyester.

Flickr user Studiobeerhorst shares a photo tutorial for making your own pot holder loopers from old t-shirts.  You get a better material AND you’re recycling!  Go to the tutorial.

Potholders 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.
