So often it’s the little things that light up a room, and we think this trio of kitchen must-haves is no exception. Find out how to make oven gloves, a pot holder and string dispenser, which are full of character thanks to a variety of rustic printed fabrics.
Stitch some oven gloves
Lay a 19cm x 82cm piece of lining cotton right side down. Place a piece of wadding the same size on top and add two smaller pieces at either end. These will provide extra protection for your hands. Lay heavyweight cotton of the same size face up on the pile and pin the layers together.
Use a drinking glass or saucer to draw curves at all four corners and cut away the excess fabric. Sew tacking stitches around the edge of the layers and remove the pins.
Outline the large motifs on the top layer with a small running stitch, then mark out diagonal lines in both directions on the background of the fabric using a chalk pencil. Sew over the top, avoiding the outlined shapes.
Pair 19cm x 23cm of heavyweight fabric with lining fabric of the same size and stitch right sides together along the bottom 19cm wide side. Turn out, fold over and press the seam. Secure the fold with a small running stitch. Repeat.
Place the rectangles at the ends of the quilted panel with linings facing and the raw edges together. These pieces form the pockets. Pin in place, flip over and cut the corners of the pockets to match the quilted panel. Tack them in place around the raw edges and remove the pins.
