So at the weekend I had a lovely few hours sifting through fabric scraps to and sewing them together to make a pot holder.
A mix of vintage and new,
quilted, backed and edged.
No more burnt hands
and it looks rather nice hanging up too.
I also made this card for my Dad's birthday, from silk tops and threads worked together on the embellisher with beads and wire hand stitched on.
I hope he likes it as the beads made it too thick for a standard stamp and it cost me a fortune to post it!

In the 60s, I had similar pans so I made sleeves for the handles. They stayed on whilst cooking and came off before washing up. Absolutely no chance of catching fire either.
I really like your pot holder.. it's so pretty :o)
Very pretty pot holder... and the card is delightful!
Not only practical but a most pretty pot holder Su which your fingers will no doubt appreciate :) I like the card too.
Pretty patchwork - I make my potholders in crochet - a double thickness of cotton - but I actually use them for my kettle which I put on the top of my wood-burner!

I'm liking your pot holder - it looks really 'country' - and Toffee Apple's handle cover idea :)
I love those pans but they can be quite lethal. What a great solution the pot holder is, very pretty too.
