Reversible Fat Quarter Potholders by Create. Craft. Love.

Hi there, UCreate readers! I’m Jill from Create.Craft.Love. and I am over the moon excited to be kicking off the Summer Fat Quarter Series!
I love the convenience and affordability of the fat quarter, don’t you? {Although they can be a bit enabling since it does feed my fabric addiction…hee hee.}

Reversible Fat Quarter Potholders by Create. Craft. Love.  #tutorial

I made these Reversible Fat Quarter Potholders ages ago to update my kitchen decor for each season. They are the perfect summer project – quick and easy! So let’s get started!

Materials:

Two coordinating fat quarters

Scrap fabric {for the loop holder}

Insul-Bright

Cutting mat

Acrylic ruler

Rotary cutter

Iron/Ironing board

Sewing machine

Begin by measuring your fabric into 9 inch by 9 inch squares using your acrylic ruler. Cut out the squares.
FQ potholder cutting
Set aside your fabric. Grab the scrap fabric and cut into 2 inch by 4 inch rectangle for your loop holder.
Next, you will measure and cut the Insul-Bright. {For those of you not familiar with Insul-Bright, it is a material that contains metal fibers and acts as an insulator against hot and cold temperatures. In a word – AWESOME!} You want this piece to be slightly smaller than the fabric squares. Cut to 8 inch by 8 inch square.
Lay your fabrics right side together. Pin around three quarters of the square, leaving upper corner of the fabric open to turn right side out when finished. Sew together.
FQ potholder pinned
Once sewn together, add the Insul-Bright square to one side. Flip over so the Insul-Bright is facing down and iron. This will adhere the Insul-Bright to the fabric.

Turn right side out and set aside.
Take the scrap fabric. Fold the edges to the middle and iron.

Fold in half again and iron.

Sew down the middle of the folded piece of fabric. And set aside.
FQ potholder tab sewn
Take the fabric square and fold the open edges inwards. I do this and iron it into place so it stays put while I try to pin it. Fold the loop holder in half and pin to the corner.
FQ potholder finishing
Top stitch around the parameter of the potholder. Trim the excess thread and voila! Finished!
I whipped up two of these in about thirty minutes! Easy peasy!
