Why not put right sides together, sew around 3 sides, turn right sides out and the do a topstitch on just one side or go around all the sides with a topstitch to finish.
i love denim too, there’s nothing quite like our favorite pairs is there!

I make normal potholders with looms. But this looks so cool to try!

April – The ragged edges is a fun way to do these too. Thanks.

Teresa – I love the Blue Jean placemat idea. My kids would get a kick out of the silverware pocket. Fun idea.

Jessica – yes, always great to have reusable items!

Very cute. I love denim…this is a project I think I’ll have to make. I was thinking of using jeans to make placemats, and the pocket could be a little silverware holder!

awesome using the pocket!!!! i was going to suggest the same ragged edge… much easier on time and the sewing machine! and if you put a colorful peice of fleece inside it’ll really ad some color on the clipped edges!

One can also make these the same exact way except that one would sew a seam around the edge of the entire potholder about 1/4 inch in and leave the edges raw. Then go around and clip them almost to the seam in increments of about 1/8 inch. Wash and dry and voila! Very cool ragged edged potholders!
