Today, I had a chance to try out the Pretty Potholder Tutorial by Prudent Baby. It was a great scrap-buster quickie project and super easy! Okay, I admit that I wanted to cry over the bias-tape at first, but that was my own fault for not working with it more often (I used the double step method for a neater finish). Quilting gurus will not blink an eye at this part. Truly, though, it was a lot of fun to make. I give it two thumbs up!
If you get your measurements noted, you may not need the step-by-step instructions, particularly because her visuals were fantastic. I did a 'quick read' through the instructions on her tutorial and then I was good to go. In my opinion, that's the sign of a great tutorial. My only tweak was that I used a double layer of Insul-Bright (instead of cotton batting) for the 8x8 square and a single layer of it for the 5x8 layer.
So, go ahead...toss out your old, weary pot holders, and whip up some fresh new ones!

Very cute! I also have these on my to-do list. All of our potholders are old and yucky. I found you by searching for coffee cozy tutorials. I'm going to try yours and I'll let you know how it turns out.
Love the fabrics you chose!!
