Make Cute Apron Hot Pads from Scraps
They’re Also Great for Showcasing Favorite Prints!
Dress up your kitchen with a set of whimsical apron hot pads. They’re fun, simple to make, and have pockets between the fronts and backs to slide your hands into for maximum heat-protection. The neck straps make them easy to hang next to the stove.
They also make great gifts. Fill the pocket between the front and back with a recipe, a small spatula, or a cookie mix for a special gift.
While the hot pads were designed for mini charm squares (2 1/2″), they’re also perfect for scraps. You can even skip the piecing and use special prints on the fronts.
The hot pads are wonderful in any color theme. They’re also great for showcasing prints for any season. Trim the front pockets with rick rack or lace for a pretty finishing touch.
We couldn’t resist playing in Photoshop to show the patchwork examples in other colors.
Once completed, the hot pads designed by J Minnis are 9″ high x 8″ wide (not including neck straps).
