Vintage sheet potholders and say hello to my little friend

I think my friend Dawnie is set now with BIG potholders. Here are three more-made with the vintage sheets we love so much. Note the little pockets you can put your hand in. I was watching a sewing show on PBS and they were making them like this. I really like them and I hope she does too.

And say hello to my new, little friend. The other night I had had it with my Brother sewing machine-so I ordered this Singer Simple from Walmart. It was 90 dollars ($103.00 with tax and shipping) and had good reviews. Hope I like it. Of course-Brother has been behaving himself ever since I ordered Singer Simple. But isn't that always the way?☺

I love a new sewing machine.
Typical for the brother to start working now. Make him sit in the corner to teach him a lesson.
Cute pot holders!

I've done another one too, Dawnie. The light colors aren't very practical but hey-if they get yucky, I can make more.

They're not quite as big as your original but almost!

Hey, could you make me some ugly potholders next time so I can use them. These are way to pretty to use. BOO HOO. I hate to mess them up. But I do LOVE them.
