Hearts on Fire Hot Pads

IMG_1425Making gifts for others is one of my favorite things about sewing (one of the reasons I wrote an entire book on the subject of gift giving). February is the month of LOVE and to celebrate, I designed this free tutorial to make the Hearts on Fire Hot Pads. You'll find all the details over on the Olfa website right here. The heart is actually a pocket for your hands and makes this more of an oven mitt.

There is even a little spotlight interview with me where I brag a bit about my cooking abilities.

In these samples, I used the "Kiss the Cook" fabrics from Dear Stella. I LOVE them. My Two Peas are on a livestock judging team in our county and they raise market lambs so it seemed pretty appropriate for our family. IMG_1407
