Then fold it along the middle line and press closed again. Fold it in half width-wise and press.Wash, dry, and cut your fabric. Make the following cuts: Cotton fabric: two 8 inch squares and a 4 inch X 2 inch rectangle Insulbrite: one 8 inch square (or 2 if you like… see note below) (optional) extra batting: one 8 inch square (I read a comment on pinterest that these were too thin with just one layer of Insul-bright… Mine work just fine for me for what I need in my kitchen but if you want yours to be thicker then by all means add in another piece of Insulbrite or batting).So if you prefer a written out tutorial with photos then scroll past the video tutorial. This video tutorial that I made is basically the same process as I outline below. It’s a thicker, stiffer type of batting with metal fibers in it. This is a batting that is heat resistant. ![]() Insul-bright is a name brand of an insulated batting. Ok, so a quick explanation on something important we are using for this project- Insul-bright. I was using up some scraps I had leftover from other projects but if you have to buy new then you will only need 1/4 yard of the fabric, 1/4 yard of the batting, and 1/4 yard of the insulated batting. You don’t need much fabric to make these. coordinating thread, sewing machine, needle.cotton fabric for front and back of potholder.I feel like this gives some of my favorite fabrics a new life, so to speak, when I get one more little project out of them. I like that this is a project that can help you use up scraps leftover from other projects. ![]()
