Learn how to sew pot holders, hot pads, and oven mitts with free sewing patterns. There are so many fun projects that protect against heat.
Isn’t it fun to have pretty, handmade pot holders and oven mitts in your kitchen? I love the ones I have made, and they make me happy every time I see and use them. I love make pot holders for different holidays and displaying them.
I make a lot of different sewing projects every year, but my oven mitts and pot holders are the handmade items that overwhelmingly get the most use. They get used almost daily, and it’s almost time to replace some of them because they are getting so worn out.
I put a list together of all the pot holders, oven mitts, cozies, and warmers so you can get inspired to make something heat protectant for your kitchen. There are lots of fun ideas, and they all make great gifts that you can give to loved ones and friends.


What is a PDF sewing pattern?
A PDF pattern is a sewing pattern designed on the computer and organized so that it can be printed on several letter or A4 size pieces of paper.
I love using PDF sewing patterns because if the pattern gets ruined or if my children or I changed sizes, I can always print it again. It’ll never be destroyed since I have a digital version!
How do you use a PDF sewing pattern?
Open the PDF on a computer and click print. When printing make sure that the scaling is set to 100% or no scaling so that the pattern prints at the correct size. Learn how to use PDF sewing patterns.
