1. Prepare your fabric

To prepare the fabric for your heart-shaped potholder, look for a design that will suit your taste. You can find a lot of designs online, or you can even come up with your own. Once you’ve decided on a design, print it out on a piece of paper. Then, cut out the heart shape from the paper. After that, use the heart-shaped template to trace the shape onto the fabric. Cut out the heart from the fabric, and you’re all set!

2. Create the heart shape

To create the heart shape, simply draw a heart on the fabric and insulate the batting. Make sure to make the same size. Fold the hearts in the center. Then carefully cut them out.

You can make the heart shape using any type of fabric you want. If you want to make a quilted heart, you can use two pieces of fabric and batting. Simply quilt the three layers together and then cut out the heart shape.

You can also use fusible interfacing to create the heart shape. Simply iron the interfacing onto the wrong side of the fabric. Then cut out the heart shape.

3. Make the handle

To make the handle where you can insert your hand, simply fold the fabric and cut it in the middle. This will create a space for your hand, making it easy to use the potholder.

4. Sew them together

To sew the fabric and insulating batting together, start by sewing the sides of the fabric. Iron the sides to make them lie flat. Then, sew the fabric to the insulating batting. Iron them again to create a smooth surface.

You can add a little hanger to your potholder, by sewing a small strip of fabric on the top with a small circle or oblong shape.
