Once you use a hot pad with pockets, you will wonder why you waited so long! They are super handy and a set of them would make a fantastic gift for a neighbor or for an upcoming wedding or shower! Finally, finish the edges of your hot pad using bias cut binding tape.
Be sure to back stitch at the top of the pocket.
Sew along the marked lines to create the thumb pocket. Then, measure in 1 1/2″ on each side of the 2 1/2″ pocket. Use the paper pattern to round the corners of the basted hot pad. Place the paper pattern on top of the basted hot pad and pin in place. Cut out the paper pattern for the hot pad with pockets. The folds of the pocket fabric should be toward the center. Place the pocket pieces on the hot pad base, lining up the raw edges. Finally, square up the hot pad base to 5″ X 7″. I find it much easier to use a walking foot to do this, especially for the quilt sandwich as it is extra thick. Quilt the quilt sandwich and the pocket pieces. Next, make a quilt sandwich for the hot pad base with the InsulBrite, batting and two 5 1/2″ X 7 1/2″ fabric pieces, with the right sides of the fabric facing toward the outside of the sandwich. Open up the fabric and place the small batting pieces inside, lining up the batting with the pressed crease. First, press the pocket fabric pieces in half- they should measure 5″ X 3 1/2″ and 5″ X 2 1/2″ when pressed. Extra wide double fold bias tape, or your own bias binding fabric. Quilt batting- (this should be a natural fiber batting like cotton or wool) cut into three pieces- 5 1/2″ X 7 1/2″, 5″ X 3 1/2″, 5″ X 2 1/2″. One piece of insulbrite cut to 5 1/2″ X 7 1/2″. Fabric for the pockets cut into two pieces, one- 5″ X 7″ and one- 5″ X 5″. 2 pieces of fabric cut to 5 1/2″ X 7 1/2″- these can be the same or different, I am using two different fabrics for mine. Ready to make your own? Before we get started though, if you are looking for a more traditional hot pad pattern, I have a lovely set with traditional quilt blocks that also includes instructions for a trivet in this post here. The prints in this line are so cheery and fun, and while the majority of the fabrics are in traditional reds and greens, there is a hint of pink and mint in this line that just adds so much dimension and fun! The panels with this line are darling as well, and I used one piece from the panel to make this mini quilt that will shortly be available over on the Polkadot Chair blog. And what better fabric to make them up in than these lovely Santa Claus Lane fabrics from Riley Blake Designs. They have pockets for your fingers and thumb and they are a bit smaller than your average hot pads, making grabbing pans from your oven so much easier! I decided to make my own pattern for one so I could have my own hot pad with pockets. My sister has this super old set of hot pads that I love. Every kitchen needs a bunch of these!ĩ.28" height x 12.25" width x 0.The fabric for this post was provided by Riley Blake Designs for my participation in their Santa Claus Lane blog tour.
And, it comes in 10 colors to match your Thermapen or ChefAlarm. We designed a sturdier, dishwasher safe trivet that will hold up in daily commercial use and perform at higher temperatures. It is perfectly sized for casserole dishes, roasting pans, cake pans, cookie sheets and lots more. We looked at similar existing designs but found that too many were too stiff, some fell apart too easily, some had awkward shapes and some just looked cheap and flimsy. We studied size, shape, materials, flexibility, durability and heat resistance. We took what we learned and designed exactly what we wanted.
