Go Mama Monday: HO HO Hotpads!



Christmas to me means baking up some sweetness!
Get your HO HO on with these holiday hotpads!
 

Begin with 4 squares of Insul-Brite and 4 squares of fabric, 8" square.


Set your stitch length long.


Baste each piece of fabric to a piece of Insul-Brite.


Then pair up the sewn squares, fabric sides together and stitch them 3/4 of the way around the hotpad.


Turn hotpad right side out and stitch all the way around the edge, closing the hole.


And your hotpads are complete!
Unless you want them fancy, and we do!


Cut your letters out of coordinating fabric.


Pin them on the hotpads and applique with a zig-zag stitch.


HO HO!!


Happy HO HO holiday hotpads!!
