1. Take a 4 cm wide piece of strip and fold it lengthwise in half and press flat. Now fold it so that the 2 open ends are together. Sew these ends. Cut any excess seam allowance away.
|
|
|
2. Turn the strip so that the sewn ends are on the inside of the loop.
|
|
|
3. Lay the loop on the backside of your potholder and either use your sewing machine or handstitch the loop onto the block.
|
|
|
4. Around the outer edge of the off white colored block, sew a line 0.7 cm from the sewn border all around the block. This will hold all 3 layers together and give the potholder a quilted look.

|
5. Use a small and tight zig-zag stitch and now sew around the leaves with either white or green thread.
|
|
|
6. Also using a zig-zag stitch, sew now around the red strawberries. You may also choose to hand stitch the motifs instead. This will give your potholder a more country look to it.
