ALthough this is adorable and a good idea…you need to fix your instructions. First of all you should make it clear that you should check the tag on the jeans to make sure they are 100% cotton jeans with no lycra. You should ONLY use 100% cotton when making potholders because anything with nylon or polyester would melt. So it goes without saying that your suggestion to use polyester fiberfill is a bit reckless. You should only use cotton batting or the like. I was thinking why not use several layers of 100 % cotton tshirt pieces to layer inbetween the denim for the padding. Also if you do it that way you wouldn’t have to finish the edges. Just sew all around the potholder (all layers) from the RIGHT side of the potholder. You could use a zigzag or decorative stitch and just let the tshirt material curl on the edges and the denim to fray. That would look awesome.
Again DO NOT USE POLYESTER FIBERFILL for these ….it could melt and you could give yourself or someone else a nasty burn!

I was saving jeans to use as rag rugs for the kitchen. I love the pot holders and the placemats ideas. It will bring the whole room together! I think I’ll add a few scraps to a vase with hot glue for a complete kitchen remodel! Thanks everyone!

Very cool idea. I have heard of them before, but never really took interest. Since I am poor these days and would like to make “cheap” and “recycled” gifts, this is a great idea. I know what some of my relatives are getting for Christmas! :-)

You can also use one of the beltloops for a hanger on the potholders.

To Sherry, April 9, 2010 — cut everything just as instructed and use a 9 1/2 insh square of an old blanket (or another square of the denim) for batting. Pin as instructed and either hand stitch the ‘fold-overs’ or use a blanket stitch if you know what that is. OR — plan on the ‘ragged’ edge and use either of the stitches I already mentioned or just whip-stitch over the edges to hold everything together. Hope this works for you!!!

I don’t have a sewing machine and some of the terminology here is unfamiliar to me. Can anyone explain, in very simple terms, how someone could do this if they are doing it all by hand (no rotary cutters, whatever they are, etc)?? Love the idea!
