Potholder - Binding Loop -

 
 
As promised - 
 
Today I'll show you how I make the "loop" - 
 
And try to clarify some stuff - ;))
 
I decided to stitch the binding down with a straight stitch - 
 
And started in the one corner - 
 
 
And continued on around - 
 
Mitering the corners as I came to them - 
 
And when I got to the end - 


 
I kept going - 
 
Folding the binding in on itself - 

 
Enclosing the raw edges - 
 
And sewing off the potholder onto the binding -


 
I used a pin to mark 4" from the edge of the Potholder - 

 
And sewed a little past it - 
 
Just because - 

 
Then I took it to the ironing board - 
 
And measured out 4" - 

 
And cut it off - 

 
Turned the Potholder over -
 
And looped the binding around to the back - 
 
To match the binding on the first side - 

 
I stitched a big "X" where the binding crosses itself - 


 
Put it up on the design wall for a photo - 
 
And realized that I started in the wrong corner -
 
The loop should be in the corner on the right - 
 
Oh, well - 
 
I'm not "fixing" it - LOL - 

 
The back side is a darker green - 
 
But it still might be too pretty to use - LOL - 

 
Maybe I'll finish up the other three - 
 
Then make some using wider strips -
 
And darker colors - 

 
Those should be pretty - ;))



Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew -

Ha ha....starting on the wrong corner is the type of mistake I make all too often.
Fortunately, it still looks great.

It's not a mistake. It's a design element. 😉 Looks great.
