How To Make A Hotpad

Today’s featured tip is from Anna’s blog: Pleasant View Schoolhouse. She has an easy-to-do hotpad tutorial:

Okay, ladies, this is really simple! Just cutting, pinning, and straight-line sewing. There are probably *better* ways to sew up a hotpad, but this has got to be the easiest.

I love projects like this because a) they’re useful and b) they suit simple sewers like me perfectly!

The instructions for how to make a hotpad couldn’t be easier. Basically you cut two 10″ squares of fabric, press under the seam allowance, place an 8 1/2″ square (approximately) of double batting between the fabric, pin it all together (fabric right side up) and topstitch all the way around (making sure to not stitch over the batting). Do a few center stitches and voila! All done.
