Potholders with hens


Based on the coffee mug rug design from Omas Place, I changed the coffee cups to hens and added two pockets to make them into potholders.

The hens were filled designs but I skipped the body filling stitches to make it faster.

The designs would show better on white or beige, but I decided to use red canvas to make it more practical.

I used one layer of insulbright and 1 layer of cotton batting to make them heat resistant.

The shape and faux binding is from Omas Place. The hens designs are from stitchdelight.

Nice potholders. I like your hens, they look very pretty this way.
It's always a good idea to see if you could use outlines only - or leave them out. Makes your design stash so much more versatile. Like I did with my ringmaster.

This is the sort of thing I love about Cuties. The ideas. I would never have thought to do this. Both the chickens & the bear look great. xx

Thank you! I've made many potholders in this shape before and they were very well liked. I compared the sewing pattern I have with this oval shape and this is slightly smaller, which doesn't matter at all.
