Small but essential in your kitchen, a pot holder helps to protect your hands from heat and hot dishes. This cute penguin potholder also be used as a handy storage pocket!
I’ve used thermal wadding, not necessary if using as a pocket, use craft fleece instead.
Use cotton fabric on the back of the holder, where it would be in contact with heat.
You could use cotton fabric instead of fleece, but use a satin stitch to attach the face to prevent it from fraying.
