Japanese Floral quilted pot holders

Quilted reversible pot holder with loop. Size may vary slightly, about 20cm x 20cm (7.8in x 7.8in)

Outer fabric is heat-resistant heavy duty cotton or cotton-rich fabric remnants. The front is a bright printed heavy woven cotton large scale floral fabric from Japan. Pattern placement varies on each pot holder. The backing is either small scale blue gingham, blue denim, a mix of the two, or cream corduroy fabric repurposed from a vintage pair of trousers. If you have a preference for backing fabric, please let us know at the checkout.

Middle wadding is rescued woollen matting used for packaging. This is very thick and heat-proof, and is biodegradeable. The strips of wadding vary somewhat in size, so the final size of the pot holders varies a little.

The binding is cotton fabric remnants.

The stitching thread is 100% cotton golden yellow quilting thread.

Sewn on a vintage domestic sewing machine. This is no mean feat! These babies are THICK!

These pot holders have been washed using eco-friendly detergent and are ready for you to use immediately. When wet, they have a distinctive ‘wet sheep’ smell - this is the result of the remaining lanolin in the woollen wadding. During washing they may release some wool fibres which are easily removed using a lint roller.

A lot of care has gone into the design and making of these pot holders. I hope you love them!
