How To Sew A Round Potholder With A Pocket

What You’ll Need:

With today’s sewing tutorial we have included the pattern you will need to make this Round Pot Holder. Simply print it out on regular printer paper, card stock, or even construction paper. If you do not have a printer simply make a round circle the size you want your potholder to be. When picking fabrics make sure you pick something that is not flammable or something that can take high heat. If you are unsure what fabrics work best, feel free to ask the local fabric shops as they are always happy to help.

How To Sew A Round Pot Holder With A Pocket

The first thing you are going to do in this how to sew a round potholder with a pocket sewing tutorial is to wash, dry, and iron your fabric. This will act as a preshrink for when you wash this potholder later and it will help keep your stitches from pulling out. Note that you DO NOT do this to the interfacing fabric. With that out of the way, the next step is to print and assemble the included free pattern. Use the pattern to cut two full circles of the regular fabric and cut one full circle of the interfacing.

Now you are going to cut the pattern in half. This is for the pocket you will be making in the following steps.The pocket gives you a nice place to put your hand when you are using the potholder. You’ll use this to cut two pieces of regular fabric and one of interfacing.

As you can see above this is what your cut fabrics will look like prior to pinning bias tape and sewing.

Next up on this how to sew a round potholder with a pocket sewing tutorial, place the half-circle piece with one piece of regular fabric facing right side down then the half-circle piece of interfacing, then the next piece of regular fabric right side up. Pin the bias tape across and sew.

Now, sew across the top of the bias tape to attach it to your fabric.

Just flip the bias tape over the edge and sew again. This makes your edge nice and pretty and reinforces it.

Next on this how to sew a round potholder with a pocket sewing tutorial, place the one regular fabric round circle right side down. Place the interfacing on top and then place another round regular piece of fabric right side up. Lay the half circle on top. Pin the bias tape around the circle. Be sure to over lap so when you finish off that you don’t have a gap between the bias tape. This part can be a little tricky so take your time if you need to. As you sew around the edge the bias tape will start to lay flatter naturally.

Sew around the potholder, securing the bias tape. Take a small piece of bias tape about 1 1/2 inches and stitch it closed. Make a loop and then pin it to the top of the holder under the backside of the bias tape. This is if you would like to hang the potholder.

Flip the bias tape over the edging all the way around and stitch. When you come to the overlap make sure it is laying flat.

For the last step in this how to sew a round potholder with a pocket sewing tutorial, go back and stitch across the loop to make sure it stays up and secures it better.
