Handmade Potholders from the Flower City Pattern Testers

Sewing· Sewing Patterns

As always, pattern testers are amazing! They really help clarify instructions and perfect the pattern. The Flower City Potholders pattern is better because of their hard work and ideas. 

They have some great creative twists, with patchwork and paper pieced sections. I hope they inspire you to try the potholders and add your own creative ideas!

Here are a few Flower City Potholders made by my testers:

This beautiful set was made by Colleen. Her quilting lines are perfect! You can see her other sewing projects @skootchover on Instagram.

Margareth made her square potholders with some beautiful paper pieced designs from Lori Holt’s Farm Girl Vintage quilt book. (that’s an affiliate link) And then she used some hexie flowers from her unfinished project pile to embellish the double-pocket potholder, which you can see @maggiemadebags on Instagram.

Kristin made a lovely set of coordinating potholders and oven mitt. I love the autumn tones and contrast binding she chose. She also took a great side photo of the oven mitt so you can see the thumb joint. You can see more of her pretty sewing projects @watersidehearth on Instagram.

Daryl is always quick to finish her sewing projects. I love how she matched the fabric to her bowls perfectly! This is the best part about making your own kitchen linens…you can always find the perfect match! See more of Daryl’s sewing @patchoulimoonstudio on Instagram.

Julie used this “eye-catching” fabric for a fun take on potholders. I like the contrasting white binding on the dark fabric. You can see more of Julie’s makes (clothes and kids stuff too!) @isewdoncjesuis on Instagram.

Susi sewed her potholders using some fun scraps she had left! Maybe the soccer mom in your life would enjoy a themed oven mitt like this one. Susi shares more projects @junglepearls on Instagram.

Danette tried out the extra patchwork directions and was able to use up some coordinating scraps to make these happy potholders! She shares more projects at Nettie Sews.

Yesterday I received something in the mail that I’ve been waiting about 15 months to see! It’s my Raised fabric from @clothworkswa 🙌🏻. 

It’s just as beautiful as I hoped and I cannot wait to see what you make with it!

Fabric shops…you can order from Clothworks! Give me a shout out if you have some in your quilt shop. 🧵I have some free sewing pattern samples I’d love to send to you! 

Thank you for all your support friends! Some of you have been hanging out with me for years and know that this is about 8 years of dreams finally in my hands. I’m honored that you are here, whether we just met or whether you’ve been here all along. 😘

I created this pattern with home decor in mind. I’m a bit of a minimalist at heart (as much as one can be with 7 children!) and simple block print style patterns are my favorite. ♥️

Maybe it adds a little bit of order in a world that can feel a little out of control.✏️ What do you do to bring some order back to your life when it’s feeling chaotic and hard?

I have a special interview to share! Bonnie Christ I have a special interview to share! Bonnie Christine and I talked about the importance of community in growing a creative business. (because when you're the Community Manager...what else would we talk about!)

Welcoming people and providing a supportive place to learn and grow is important to both of us! The Immersion Course is the most energetic and supportive community experience I have ever been part of. 

If you are looking for a place to learn something new, grow your skills, or level up your surface design business, please consider joining us. 

Last year some of my quilting & art friends joined and I'm watching them design sewing patterns and beautiful products this year.

I'm offering a free coaching group coaching session following Immersion to help you figure out next steps if you sign up through my affiliate link. Five random students will get a free one-on-one session with me! (Right now that everyone...because I still have 3 slots left!) 

Message me with any questions you have about surface pattern design, how learning Adobe Illustrator can give you marketable skills, or how licensing your art and building multiple streams of income can add value to your life. 🙂
