Scrappy potholder pattern for a craft fair; any suggestion?
#11
I love that u-tube potholders. Have to try them with my grandson. I'm sure he would love to give Spiderman potholders for Christmas.lol I made potholders for all my female relative a couple years ago for Christmas and everyone loved them. I used up a lot of scraps and tried to coordinate them to that particular persons preferences. My niece got horse fabric, DIL was purple and teal... I made them a little larger and told them they were either mug rugs or pot holders. No one had ever heard of mug rugs so they all got potholders.lol

Here are some free patterns to look at.

To be successful at selling, I always found that one's work has to be stunning. Yes, one receives a lot of compliments but they don't help bring the groceries home.

Thanks, Bigsister, I remember putting these on my mental "product to try list" than forgot about it. I will try one to give to my mother and see what she thinks :-)

RE : tute on potholder...local 4H girls made mug rugs the same way .....no insulbrite or batting, just fab charms....full square for back and four folded, sew and flip. Very cute and useful .....I use mine

Nice link! First thought is they use a lot more fabric than the "traditionnal" cotton batting + insulate material model. Quilting cotton is 15$/yard here in Canada... But the speed of these! You could wipe a dozen in a few hours. To lower the cost, I could use some of my 100% cotton recycled sheet. I buy these for backing pillow, bags, etc. and consumers don't seem to mind at all. Thanks for the idea.
