I can’t believe I used to throw out all those shoulder pads from my refashions! I didn’t realize just how very useful they could be.
You’ve seen these guys before (Remember Day 101?).
I pinned the two pads together.
Then I stitched them up like so:
I trimmed off those raw edges, and turned the whole thing inside-out.
Now I have a super-handy pot/pan handle cover for removing something tasty from the oven! 🙂
Are you wondering what’s in the pot? I was in a french mood, so I whipped up a batch of Gratin Dauphinois! 🙂 You’re looking at a whooooole lotta cheese, cream, and potatoes!
Cheers!
Hahaha! Oh my goodness. I’m going through your whole blog right now (yes, your whole blog- started from day one). I saw the sunglass case- the cat nip mouse and now a pot holder. I wonder if the person designing the dress had any idea just how handy these particular shoulder pads could be. 😀
1~ Agree about the polyester caution; had not thought of that! {I should think the inside is safe?? It is the melting factor that is at issue, plus the fact that it could accidentally catch fire, yes?}
2~ Jody has a good fix for that: cover them in a safe fabric! {I am guessing that will protect from the potential fire issue??}
3~ I agree with Amber; where is the recipe for THIS?!? Looks YUMMY & oooh, CHEEEEEEESE!!!!!!! *drool*
I want the recipe for this 😀
What a great idea! Love this.
With a groovy retro fabric cover – Christmas presents here I come!
Thankyou for sharing your cleverness.
What a GREAT idea! No fires at the ReFashionista household!!!!
be careful. When I see potholder patterns it always says don’t use polyester thread. Watch out for the danger if it’s polyester, which the shoulder pads mostly are, of catching fire 🙁
I hear ya. I used cotton thread, and the outside of the pad is a thick cotton jersey. Should I be worried about the inside stuff?
Very clever! Love it.
