December is traditionally the time of New Year's fuss. However, if you think that it’s too early for the Christmas tree, start with "thematic" deer gloves!

We spend so much time in the kitchen that the desire to make this place a cozy corner seems quite natural. One of the stylish accessories can be hand-made potholders and selected exclusively for your kitchen. And due to the simplicity of execution, you can easily and quickly prepare a cute present for friends and relatives.

Particularly interesting and harmonious are the sets of several companion fabrics in the color scheme of the interior.

You will need:

  • cotton: 2 flaps measuring 20x20 cm

  • satin ribbon: 90 cm

  • batting: flap 25x25 cm

Step 1. Wrong side of the tack

Sweep the flap of fabric for the wrong side measuring 20x20 cm around the perimeter to the batting, leaving the edges of the batting protruding beyond the edges of the fabric. Quilting a fabric with batting, laying the lines at a distance of approx. 5 cm apart.

On the other hand, batting along the perimeter, sweep and stitch a flap of fabric on the edge for the front side of the tack.

Step 3. Edging

To process edges with an oblique inlay, grabbing the wrong side fabric, batting and front side fabric.

To do this, first notice the oblique tape around the perimeter on the wrong side, at the beginning aligning the free end of the tape with the edge of the tack.

At the corners, fold the oblique collar at an angle of 45 degrees and continue to line along the perpendicular side.

Bend the edge with an oblique inlay and sew the inlay along the front side, closing the stitch that secures the layers of fabric.

Close the border, hiding the slice of the beginning of the inlay. For loops, leave about 10 cm of loose tape, folding them in half. Sweep away.
