pOt~HoLdErS

Mr.A. and I had company over for a meal...My sister was going to grab something hot out of the oven and she asked me for the potholders.At that very moment it hit me that I just had the one stained,thin,old,stuffing falling out of piece of shit. trash.I used this single potholder day in and day out never thinking twice about it, could I expect my company to use this? Was it safe to be grabbing a hot pan out of the oven with this because there was barely any stuffing left?I was embarrassed to pass this single potholder to her when she requested potholders.Ex specially in its shape.However this is what I had.
(sorry no picture of it as it went into the trash that very night before bed)
 The next day after the house was quiet, I went in to my extra room and begin going through any fabric in my measly supply to try and find something I could make potholders out of with limited sewing skills.This is what I came up with.They work great and cost $0.(all scraps I had)

  3. Your potholders look grat and I'm sure they'll do the job. Also, thanks for the tip on getting the bottoms of pans squeeky clean. We rarely eat out too so the bottoms of my pans look pretty similar to what yours did.
