- This week we're making scrappy potholders to match with the hot pad from last weeks tutorial, found here:
• Scrappy Hot Pads
For this project, you'll need 2 pieces of fabric for your binding that measure 2.75" x Width of Fabric (42"-44")
Various scraps of fabric for the front and backing.
100% Cotton batting or Insulbrite (or both)
Next Saturday, we'll be seeing what I got in the mail this week and using it to make a beautiful project - stay tuned!

Beautiful potholders thanks for the tutorial!!
I'm so glad you like them and you are very welcome! I am actually working on two sets of these potholders this afternoon. Thank you so much for watching and commenting! Happy sewing!
I love making scrappy potholders! I also love watching you make them too! The sound of a sewing machine is soothing to my brain after had surgery on it.
Oooh, I know exactly what you mean about soothing, but not do much about the surgery recovery. I hope you are doing well!!!
Ilove making potholders I have tried but yours was great. I make up potholders when I have a
Few minutes, not wanting to start a big project, I make potholders. I save them and when someone does something special for me. I give them a hand made potholder. If someone seems down, I give them one to say “someone loves you.”
I agree with you completely. There a great way to use that scraps, give someone a gift and I give many of them. I have never had anyone refuse potholders, because who couldn’t use them? Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment. Happy sewing!
Thank you that was a perfect show for making a pot holder tutorial
Glad it was helpful! I hope you had fun making some!
Thank you, thank you, thank you for the easiest way I ever saw to to put bindidn on.
You're welcome! I'm so glad that you found this video helpful. I love making potholers and I use this method nine times out of ten. Happy sewing!
I really enjoyed this video. Actual real time sewing and chatting about your friend, your past experiences. It was like you were here for a visit. You did a good job explaining everything too.
Thank you so much for your wonderful comment! This was one of my 1st videos, when my channel was brand new. I've learned a lot since then, lol. The one thing I always do is pretend that all of you are right here with me in my sewing room and I just talked to you as if you were here. I'm glad that you enjoyed it. Thank you for taking the time to comment, I really appreciate that!
Beautiful pot holders!
Thank you SEW much!
Thank you for this great tutorial! I really like your binding and loop method… Your potholders are works of art! So beautiful!
I'm so glad you liked them. I love working with scraps, as I'm sure the name of my channel tells , lol. I think it's fun to put different colors and fabrics together and make something new. Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to comment to me. Happy sewing!
Love those colors, I'm a Autumn Gal!🍂
Me too!!
I enjoyed your video on the potholders! I’m a new, beginning quilter needing simple things to start on. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful! Potholders are exactly what I started with back when I started sewing quilts. If you think about it, a potholder is just a miniature quilt, so it gives us a way to practice on a small item before moving onto a larger item. Either way, welcome to my channel and thank you for subscribing! I hope you have a wonderful weekend and happy sewing!
Loved your tutorial! I have 3 bags of quilting scraps and was looking for smaller things to make for next Christmas. I’ve been having so much fun making scrap pot holders but I needed a good video on making the loop for the binding. Yours was perfect! Thank you so much❤
Oh my goodness I’m not sure how I missed your comment, it’s a whole week old. I apologize! I’m so glad that you found this potholder video helpful. Potholders are a very fun project and I find that they make a great gift because who can’t use a new pot holder set? Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to comment. Have a wonderful weekend!
I really can't get into sewing scraps . They overwhelm me, trying to figure out how to put the pieces together
Great video! You do a very good job explaining everything. 😊
Thanks so much! 😊 I'm happy that you found it helpful ☺️
I just found and watched this. You said you were from northern Maine.😊 I’ve lived in central Maine most of my life, it’s nice to see another Maina here on UA-cam, I enjoyed your teaching and look forward to seeing more of your videos ❤️
Hello fellow Main-ah! Thank you for stopping by to introduce yourself! The video you commented on was actually one my first ones, and my lighting was still bad and I wasn't in my own sewing room, lol. Oh, well... anyway, I'm living in Aroostook county now, but I was born in Augusta. I look forward to seeing you again in the comments and feel free to drop by a livestream if your schedule permits (Wednesdays at 10 am)
I am brand new to sewing and am just discovering this video 2 years later....lol. So I don't think it'll do much good to suggest a seam binding preference as I'm sure they've been made up by now, but my vote would have been to use scraps of different colors around the edges. I think that would be really pretty. Thank you so much for making this video. It was so easy to follow, and I love all the different steps explained. That is a crucial thing to someone just learning to sew. I've made a few basic quilts using square 10x10 blocks, but would love to make some of these potholders for my mom and some of the ladies in her building and pair them with jar openers and card holders. And I think I could do it, even though I don't have much sewing experience yet. You make it look so easy. I hope I can make one that looks as nice as yours. Thanks again! 😊
Hi Darla! It sounds like you’re headed in the right direction as a beginner. I started out by sewing with making baby quilts, too! .We all start somewhere and it’s always a path to our next project. Just keep trying, I’m sure you’re doing great! Potholders are just simply a mini quilt in my book and can be made in so many different ways. This was actually one of the first videos that I put on UA-cam, I was still very new to it. I have the set of potholders in my kitchen, as I finally kept some for myself. I’m happy that you found my tutorial easy to follow, that’ll make it that much easier to make many sets of potholders to practice on. Have fun!
I'm so glad I found you!!😊
I'm glad you found me, too! Welcome to my little corner of UA-cam! This was actually one of my first videos. You'll have a lot of videos to catch up on , ha ha. Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to comment. I appreciate that. Happy sewing!
I'm doing a marathon of your videos now. Lol! Im a beginner. My sewing machine and I finally became friends. I'm not afraid of touching it any more. LOL!! I just made a disappearing 9 patch table runner. Now I'm a little sponge soaking up all of your knowledge and wisdom. Thank you so much for being here for people like me.
I like the idea of scrappy binding. I will make the hangers your way next time. It looks much better than the way I have been making mine. Thank you for sharing.
Hi Charlotte! You’re ever so welcome! I can’t even remember where I first saw that binding method, but I do know it changed how I do things, because I love the way it looks. I’ve used scrappy bindings on quite a few different projects, like potholders and things like that. I think it makes for a very colorful edging. Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to comment. Happy Easter!
Thank u for sharing this, although it's over a year old and Im just now seeing this, going to make pie pot holders for family for Christmas this year and u putting the loop at end to hang pot holders on really help's me ,
Thank u again
God's blessing always b with u
😊
You are so welcome! I make these so often and I'm happy to hear that you are having fun making them, too!
I am going to make my first set of potholders. Your directions look simple.
You can do it! Have fun!
💡🌻🌻🌻Love your potholders, Marie!
Thank you Lynn! I love making them this way. Glad you liked it.
Love her! So easy to follow. My reason for watching her is I have a specific pot handler pot holder patter which is oval and I cut the batting to size. However when quilting, it moves and leaves the p of holder distorted. I now know to cut the batting larger! Who knew? Thank you for a great tutorial!
You are very welcome! I'm so happy that you found it helpful. I actually just made a set of these yesterday.
Great video. I think making potholders are fun. Thank you.
You are so welcome! I think they’re fun, too… a mini quilt! Happy sewing 🧵🥰
This was an awesome tutorial! Thank-you for sharing your knowledge! I want to do potholders for Christmas!
You are so welcome! This was actually when my channel was very new, lol. Have fun sewing!
These pot holders are beautiful!❤
Thank you! 😊
Its beautiful i love those potholders. God bless u❤
Thanks so much! I have these in my kitchen and every time I look at them, I think they're beautiful.
Loving the Autumnal colors that you put together❤
Thank you! 😊
👌 loved the way you created the potholder loop!
Thank you! 😊
I think one colour binding would look best. The loop construction was quite unique and new to me..great tutorial
Thank you! 😊
loved this! Looks like something I will try.
I've made so many of these and I just think they're one of the most fun projects. I'm not sure why I like to make them, but I'm glad you enjoyed the video explanation mark
Thank you Easy to follow and I am new to quilting so it made it easy for me.
You are so welcome! I'm glad you found this helpful!
I'm just learning to sew & quilt to improve my eye/hand coordination and fine motor skills after a small stroke. I think the green would make a lovely binding for your pot holder.
Hi Carol! Well, that is a great thing to do to improve your eye and hand coordination. I’m sorry to hear about your stroke, but it sounds like you have a “can-do” attitude and that’s all you need. Thank you so much for watching and for leaving a comment for me. Have a wonderful week!
Thank you very much for telling me how to sew clearly
❤
You are very welcome! This was actually one of my very first videos after starting my UA-cam channel. I love making potholders!
First time I saw you. Loved the binding video. Thank you…👏
Welcome to my channel! I'm glad this was helpful!
I love it, I used your way of binding with the loop, came out very nice, thank you for sharing
Glad it was helpful!
Lovely! I've made some folded star potholders and I needed to brush up on binding with a loop and I'm so happy I found you because you have a wider binding width and I struggled to make the binding with a 2.25 inch width. My next folded star potholder will look much nicer using your method. New subscriber! Thank you!
Aw that's wonderful that it helped - yay!!!! Have fin with your sewing!
This is an awesome video! I’ve never seen this method of making the loop. I love the colors for fall decor.
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you found it helpful! This is my favorite way of putting on the binding and loop.
Beautiful work and a beautiful lady . God bless you x
Thank you so much! 💓
Enjoyed your video. Thank you
I'm glad you enjoyed it! You're welcome, and thank you for watching and commenting!
Love ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ scrappy!
Hi MiKi! Me, too! I've challenged myself to make as much as I can this year with the scraps I have. That's the big reason I named my channel what I did, I just love scraps and I love seeing how beautifully they go together! Thanks for joining me and for the comment!
In regards to binding color, I love just one matching color. It makes the potholder center pop! Kinda sets it off!
thanks!
Thank you so much for showing me how to do the corners on your hot pad with the self-binding method. I am making mini quilts for the Cat Cages for my local animal shelter.. Unfortunately, I just finished 2 of them yesterday and my corners were terrible. I am making many more and will use your technique. Many Thanks.
Good morning Julie! You’re ever so welcome and I’m glad I was able to help you out. Binding is something I used to struggle with before I found some hints and tips that worked for me. I’m glad I was able to pass them along and have them work for you and others. That’s such a nice thing that you do. I’m sure the animals don’t mind, even if your binding technique wasn’t 100%. straight. They can feel the love that you put into them. Thank you for what you do!
Bottom line....always do your best, most time it has flaws but if you take your time and care about your work the imperfections are easier to accept. 🇨🇦
Well said!!!!! 💕🥰
I do like sewing scraps together to make bindings. It seems to “pop” with the mixture of colors. I could watch you all day but I can’t stitch on machine and watch you at the same time. ❤
Oh, thank you Betty! You're so sweet! I love the scrappy borders best, too! I ended up using one fabric instead of scraps, but there's always next time, ha ha.
Thanks so much for watching my videos!!! You made me laugh because you definitely can't do both - or at least I can't... not sew and pay attention, anyway. LOL. Take care and I'll "see" you next time!

Solid green
I love this project.
HI Mary! I appreciate your views and your comments! Thanks so much! I love scrappy projects and I _* really*_ needed some new potholders. So, not only did I get a new set of them, but I was able to film some content and teach others at the same time. Win, win! Have a great day, my friend!
Oh and I'm not sure if you saw the video where I gave away the set of potholders, but Linda (Kinney) won them! She was excited to win and she chose yellow to match her kitchen.
@@MariesScrappyCreations I did see it. They were great. Smiled when I heard our friends name
❤I love them!!🧵🪡
Thank you! I had the raggedy old potholders in my kitchen and when I made these, my granddaughter told me that I absolutely had to use them. She was right and I started using them and every time I look at them, I think of how pretty they are! They also match the hot pad that I made. You may have seen that video, too.
Thank you for the inspiration Marie, I had tried those corners before and got myself lost.
Now off to find out what you got in the mail 😄
New subbie.
Hi Kerry! Yes, that was one of the first videos. Not like I’m an old hand because I haven’t even been at the three months, but I think you know what I mean, ha ha. Thanks so much for your comments!
@@MariesScrappyCreations thanks for making these videos Marie, you are encouraging me to give it a go on projects I put in the 'too hard basket'. I am going to drag out a quilt I have started but put in a box and left for years now. I have an idea on how to secure it so I can work on it ( a queen sized quilt ) and then I will do the binding like you did here. I am going to need lots more buttons 😂
I love to read comments like this! Thank YOU!
@@MariesScrappyCreations ❤
I loved pieced potholders. The binding would look good solid or pieced.
I think so too! Thanks!!!
Hi Marie!! I think you should use a solid or a color on color so that it doesn’t look too busy. You have a lot of beautiful fabrics in the potholder and they should stand out! Thank you for sharing your projects!!!
Hi Lisa Marie! Thanks for the opinion (and the comment!), I appreciate it. Today, I finished the 2nd potholder, the one that went with the one I showed in this video. I actually put them into my potholder drawer and have an adorable set - finally! I'm not sure if you caught the part of the video the other day, but I have just been using very old, yucky potholders, yet I'm always making them for gifts or to sell. You'd think I'd have had a nice set. Well, I do now! ;-)
@@MariesScrappyCreations good for you! You deserve to have some nice pot holders in your drawer! I find sometimes I use the old ones because they are already dirty and I don’t want to get the nice clean ones dirty. Lol.
@@lisamarieesposito4842 Thanks and yes, I think I do deserve to have some nice ones. LOL, it's funny because I make all these nice potholders as gifts for others, or sell them and I keep the old ones for myself. But, now I have a set that matches with the hot pad from last week. I'm moving up in the world, lol lol!!!
like your hot pad's withe the binding from back to frount.
Thank you! I use a few different methods, depending on my mood, ha ha. Thank you so much for watching, and I appreciate your comment. Happy sewing!
Great tutorial looking forward to making them up and multi coloured would look good around your pot holder
I hope you have fun making yours! They make a great gift, too!
Hi I did your video on the fabric box. Worked pretty well.
Wonderful! Have a wonderful day!
Scraps would look awesome
Thanks ❤️
This may sound strange, but watching you cut stuff is very soothing as well. I'm new to your channel. Looking forward to watching additional videos.
I'm SO glad to hear that! This was one of my first videos and I still get quite a few views. Thanks for subscribing and watching!
Well I think the scraps of the 4 colors would be cute.
That's exactly what I chose, scrappy 😄
Contrasting solid print would look great on the other potholders.
Hi Peggy! Thanks for the visit and for the input. Have a great weekend!
Love it! I need to try doing this but it will have to be hand sewn.
It will just make it that much more special. I used to sew everything by hand, too.
Use solid binding and make color bold.grateful for your videos
My pleasure 😊. Thank YOU!
A scrap binding will be pretty
Thanks! 🥰
I just found you and have subscribed. I live in Maine too but on the coast near Rockland. It’s great finding you.
Hi Pat! I'm glad you found me! I am from Augusta, but have been up here in Aroostook county for over 30 years now. I'm so glad to have you as a new subscriber!
Thank you so much
You're so very welcome. Congratulations on being chosen the winner!
❤❤
Marie, you need some Clover clips. They work so well on holding binding and you don't stab yourself with the pins. My grandkids are learning to sew and the clips are so much easier for them. Thank you
Lol, You’re not the first to say that, Cynthia. I think I need to get used to them. My granddaughter bought me some clover clips 3 or 4 years ago and I’ve tried using them, but they kept catching on the sides of my sewing machine when I’d be sewing and they also felt like they were heavy or dragging the piece down. Maybe it’s just I’m too set in my ways, ha ha. I love to hear about sewing with kids! Sewing with grandchildren is so special!
My thoughts exactly. Clips are awesome. It has been two years, did you start using your clips? Thank you for your video! Yours is the best…. I am making folding star hot pads and have been struggling with binding….. I was adding the loop. I was going wrong with the width of my binding, it was not 2 3/4…. Hoping this will make my project better!
Hi Miss Marie..love your videos!! You talked about closed captioning..I use earbuds so I can hear better, but still turn closed captioning on. I especially like closed captioning when someone adds a lot of music to their video. You can't always hear them above the music. Turn the volume down and still know what they say. Love that you don't do that.
I do the same... closed captioning and headset when watching videos on UA-cam (and regular tv)/ Yeah, I'm not a fan of music on the videos unless I make a "short" (under 1 minute) video. The music can overpower the tutorial and make it very difficult to understand.
I would use one fabric for the potholder's binding...
That was the majority, so it's what I went with. :-) Thank you for your comment and opinion on the potholder!
Marie if it was me, i'd do the binding in the 4 colours of your fabric for the binding.
Also, when you do the corners, could you do a closeup where you start off stitching, after you've flipped it, so it's nice & square please? I hope that you understood would I meant. It's @ the 27:41 mark. I'm hopeless @ binding the corners.
Closed captions (cc) started working within 6 hours. I started watching the video when it came out, but I had to go out & cc wasn't available, but when I could watch it again, cc was on :D
Thanks, that's one vote for scrappy binding!
As far as when I start off in the corner, I sent you a pm about that ;-)
I'm glad the CC worked. I know from what I read, it said it takes anywhere from 12-24 hours. When I went to bed last night, the video was still uploading to UA-cam and when I woke this morning, it was available then. Last weeks video took all the 24 hours, but this one was definitely quicker!
23:18 ❤
Très belle explication, je reviendrai vous voir ; merci de partager. Je suis de France Pays de Loire.
Hello and I’m so happy you wrote to me! Thank you so much and have a very happy new year!
As a “newbie” I’m very interested in how you pieced all of the different-sized scraps together. I’m a new subscriber so if you’ve already done a tutorial on piecing, I’m sure I haven’t found it yet. Any suggestions for me, please? I do enjoy the tutorials that I have seen!
Hello and welcome! Thanks for subscribing! I actually just put up a video that isn't so much a tutorial, but allows you to see how I piece my scraps. Here is the link and I hope you have some fun sewing your scraps!
ua-cam.com/video/6SyQLy93CS8/v-deo.html
Thanks so much!!!❤️
I'm new to sewing. What weight batting would you need? For example: 2 layers of mid weight cotton batting or should it be heavier weight? Thanks in advance.
Hi! Recently, I've been using 3 layers of cotton batting, instead of two. I've never dealt with weights of cotton batting, so I'm unsure how to answer. I know polyester batting gave different thicknesses and then there's wool, but any 100% cotton batting I've purchased has been basically the same. If you could tell me what brand or type you're trying, that might help. 🥰
Make a scrappy binding on the other pot holders
That's exactly what I chose!
I realize this is from a year ago but had to comment on hanging potholders. When I make holiday themed ph I hang them to decorate my kitchen.
I love to do that, too! It doesn't matter if the video is over a year... I welcome any and all comments ❤️
I also don't like insulbrite. Some people think that its necessary. The manufacturer states it is not necessary.
Yeah, I've never cared for it. The sound of insulbrite drives me crazy, lol! Now I use 3 layers of cotton batting, all quilted down nicely.
You mentioned in this video about how dry your hands are. Maybe you can put some baby oil, not much in your location to help with the dryness. I worked with a lady that did that and it worked for her. Just a thought to pass on to you. I like your method of put your binding on potholders!
Thank you for your suggestion! I've actually tried anything and everything. The problem sometimes is if it's too greasy, I can't touch anything like fabric or yarn that I want to do, without getting it greasy. I end up having to wear gloves and then I can't feel anything. But I appreciate your thoughtfulness and looking out for me! 💞
@@MariesScrappyCreations i totally understand! Maybe just a few drops and only at night while it does it work....just a thought. My hands are always in water it seems when I'm not in my sewing room so mine are dry also. In the Winter it gets worse.
I could try at night 🥰
Scraps for binding.
Try putting your pins in vertically then the direction will not matter.
Thanks ❤️
I’m more particle to using a solid that matches your block. Do you have clips i find they are easier than struggling with pins. Ive had to toss so mant pins out cause they bent
Hi Theresa and thank you for your comment and opinion on the potholder binding! Looks like so far, it's the solid fabric, rather than the scraps, with more votes. I think I said in the video that I'd read comments through Monday before going with the majority. I guess tonight, I'll take a look through and see how many at that point.
I do have clover clips, but find them to be bulky to work with. I watched so many UA-camrs using them and my granddaughter bought me some a few Christmases ago as a gift. I do use them but only on large projects. It's probably just me, but I find that they feel heavy and when I lay the project across to sew, they feel like they've "weighted' it down and sometimes I've caught them on the edge of my machine. Maybe I just need more practice, lol!
I was sewing this morning and sewed over pins, so I guess that goes against my "I don't sew over them anymore" rule, but I do when I'm working with zippers, as I need the zipper to stay exactly where i have it. I do go very slowly, so maybe that helps?
I use ho1iday themed Potholders to decorate my kitchen.
That's always fun to do!
Were you using your walking foot when you did the quilting?
Hi! Yes, I was using a walking foot. I had to look back over the video at the part where I was at the machine to know for sure, but then I could see the side of it (just barely). I'm sorry I didn't mention it when I should have, but I was still new to making videos at that point. This is one of my first few tutorials, ha ha. Thanks for your question and take care!
use scraps how do I put the hanging loop in the middle I like mine even
Hi! Well, to put them in the center would be a whole new tutorial. I’ll add that to my to do list, but there is no easy way to answer that. It’s similar, but not the same way, and would be too difficult to explain in the comment section. Thank you so much for watching and happy sewing!
Use a scrapy binding.
Thanks!! Happy sewing!
Please don’t include me in your giveaway. But I’ll answer your question. 😉. I love a scrappy binding but sometimes on a smaller project that’s full of scrappy color I like a solid binding to frame It. I also like to use up my scraps in a scrappy binding so I’m of no help at all 🤣
I appreciate your answer... er, your opinion. ;-)b LOL! Robin, you are so funny! I hear you, though. If I used a solid, it keeps the "busy-ness" of the scraps to a minimum. If I use a scrap binding, it might be too much scrappiness, (is that a real thing... too much scrappiness?). It's a tough decision, for real!
Never too much scrappiness.
@@rsislandcrafts I didn't think there could be such a thing, ha ha
Green...mix would be interesting also. UA-cam waynesville NC USA 🇺🇸 veteran
Hello down in Waynesville, NC. Thanks, veteran!
Will you tell me correct measurements for cloth joinging it
I didn't cut the scraps into any certain size. I just sewed together what scraps I had and then cut it into whatever size I wanted my pot lholder to be
Ok dear
One color

Where in Maine are you?
In Aroostook County. :-)
Please use one fabric
How many inches is your binding strips
2.75" was what I used in the video. I made a set the other day and used 2.5" and it worked out even better.
How do I keep the stitching from showing on the other side when binding?
You could hand stitching it, or cut your binding narrower than 2.75 (maybe a trial run using 2.25"?). If you get it just right, then on the opposite side it would look like you were stitching in the ditch of that seam.
What is you Stitch length? Mine is 2.5 and wasn’t sure if I should have a shorter length.
