Beautiful potholders with their own hands for the kitchen: made of fabric and knitted( with a pattern)

The comfort of the kitchen is created thanks to every little thing. They include stitches. But they serve not only to create a warm kitchen atmosphere, but also are very useful and functional part of it. Potholders protect the hands of the hostess from burns. Of course, you can do without them, use a towel or kitchen rag. But the towel is too long and can be imperceptibly burned, and at the same time spoiled. A kitchen rag is often wet and quickly conducts heat, which does not save from burns.

A small tackle is always at hand. At the same time, beautiful stitches with their own hands make it quite simple and interesting. They can be tied and sewed together, you can use different techniques - patchwork, knitting from the fabric. Purchased cheap potholders are mainly made of synthetic fabric, which very easily burns and melts. After that, the tack will no longer be hung in a conspicuous place, it will spoil the view of the entire kitchen. It is better to make it with natural hands from natural fabrics, cotton is best suited for these purposes.

Before you can make potholes for the kitchen with your own hands, you need to decide how they will be made ─ from fabric or knitted. Each of these species is discussed in detail below.

Fabric stitchers

Fabrics can also be sewn with different techniques:

• from fabric flaps or patchwork;
• from solid fabric

So, in the technique of a patchwork, or pothards are patchwork. First you need to select the desired form. It can be a square or a circle, or maybe a heart or an apple. First of all, you need to make a pattern on paper. Then, from the paper, the pattern is transferred to the base, that is, to a piece of fabric. The shape of the future pothold from this fabric is cut out. Now, using shreds of different colors, a pattern is formed. Each piece of cloth is superimposed on each other, bending the edges and sewing to the base. This is only the face of the tack.

You can make the wrong side either the same, or just take a fabric that matches the color. These two parts of the product can be sewn without filler, if they are sufficiently dense. If the fabric from which these two parts of the future potholders are made is thin, then a layer between them is better filled with either a dense cloth or an sintepon. Now it remains to decorate the edges of the tack with the help of tape or fringe. All ─ pothook of the shreds with your own hands ready!

Surely every housewife has an old kitchen towel. He can give a second life, sewing from them bright potholders. To do this you will need:

• Old towels
• Bright pieces of fabric
• Edge, tape
• Threads with
• Scissors
• Paper and handle

For starters, a form of tack is drawn on paper. Then this form is cut out of paper. It will be more convenient if you take a thick paper. Now the paper form is transferred to the towel. To make the potholder thicker and more heat-resistant, several layers of the pattern can be cut from the towel. Now, on the same paper form, the pattern is transferred to the fabric for the outer sides of the tack. Before sewing a tack, all the layers are stacked one on top of the other so that the layers of the towel are between the two tissues of the face of the tack. All layers are fastened with pins. Now they are stitched either manually or with a sewing machine. For additional decoration of the tack, it can be quilted several times. It remains only to process the edge with the help of the rim.

Knit potholders

Yarn for knitted stitches is better to take from natural materials. The most suitable material for this is cotton. The yarn should be thick, so that the tack would perform its function to the fullest. Knit potholders can also be of various shapes, both simple and complex. The knitted potholders will look unusual from the fabric with their own hands. To do this, from the length of the fabric, the same strips are cut with a width of 1.5-2 cm, curls into a tangle, and the tucks are knitted as from ordinary yarn. Such stitches will be exactly unique, and also, what is very important for them - dense.

As can be seen from this article, kitchen sticks with their own hands can be diverse, bright and not repetitive! The main thing is not afraid to create, and then everything will turn out.
