Pretty Little Potholders

I love this book! I love to sew aprons and potholders. I've been making aprons now for seven years and was looking for a great potholder pattern book and I found it with this book. So far I have made 4 potholders as gifts. I made the one with yo-yo flowers and rick rack trim. I was told it's too pretty to use. There are some really great retro ideas and patterns in this book. And I would use them!

Pretty Little Potholders

This book has a lot of ideas to use for making potholders. I plan to combine some of the ideas together also for making table mats or hot pads.

Opens the door to a brilliant new and useful fun craft!

If you are ready to get really creative by thinking of potholders as mineature works of art, then you will adore this book. The photographs are clear, colorful and inspirational. The directions will take you step by step through each project, but you will certainly find tons of inspiration here to come up with designs of your own! The major plus of working on potholders is their small size, which will afford you a small canvas on which to lavish the most luxurious details. There is something here for the beginner and the most advanced sewer, although you are certain to learn as you go! You'll soon have an awe-inspiring collection of these useful but beautiful household items that need never languish in a drawer again!
