Sewing potholders from fabric scraps is a super idea! The Log Cabin potholders are little works of art - each one a true original. And because they are made from fabric scraps, they cost almost nothing!
Colorful & stylish: Sewing potholders from fabric scraps
The back of these colorful kitchen helpers is made from an old pair of jeans. This makes them robust, stain-resistant, and wonderfully washable. We created a tutorial for you some time ago, with which you can sew these colorful items yourself.
Of course, you can also find the complete instructions for the potholders made from fabric scraps on our site.
These beautiful potholders are sewn in a wild Zakka style. The technique is called "quilt as you go." This means that no additional quilting of the potholders is necessary after the actual sewing. It all happens on the fly, so to speak.
Because the sewing is so quick, this type of project is fun even for beginners: because it's simple and there’s nothing to measure or calculate.
In the end, the potholders are finished off with homemade bias tape and are then so pretty and elegant that they would have been welcome even on Salvador Dali's dinner table. Care to bet?

Happy colorful sewing,
