For this project, you'll need: * Two 9" squares of sewn together strips from your scrap bin * Bias binding to compliment the colors you used in the potholder - I used an 18" square, cut into width of 1.75" and a tutorial will be listed below, if you're new to making bias binding. * 2-3 Layers of Cotton batting or combination of cotton batting and insulbrite - I used 3 layers of cotton batting in the video * Piece of backing fabric for each potholder Links to help you: * Leaf Template: bit.ly/3ScAHJp If that doesn't open for whatever reason, you can go here and then scroll down until you see "click here to download template": bit.ly/3DvljUE - I printed the pattern at 105%, but it's not necessary * Video on how to make bias binding (remember we cut ours @ 1.75"): th-cam.com/video/1VsT7AHcK_0/w-d-xo.html * Blog post with written instructions for making Bias binding: bit.ly/3eWd8Xd My Amazon Wish List: amzn.to/3w3Xm2D ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Buy Me a Coffee (donations): www.buymeacoffee.com/ScrappyMarie ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Marie's Scrappy Creations Facebook Page: facebook.com/groups/5182712958456180/ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Email: mariesscrappycreations@yahoo.com
Hi sister in law sorry I missed you this morning. I had to work. I usually don't work Sundays. I love those they are beautiful. I love my other ones I dont get burned.
I live in Michigan and the leaf colors are changing. I drove north this week to a quilt shop and saw the n ew colors emerging like maroons and pinks. Soon we will have the yellows and oranges. I want to sit right down and make these leaf potholders but I have to pack today for my bus trip toPenn. with my daughter. We will be going to 12 quilt shops along with some other sites. I love tripping with my girls and my quilting friends.
....and you smashed it again, thank you for my Sunday sewing haha! I'll put the picture up in the morning, The leaf shape was a lovely size at 105 printout huge love xxx
The potholder was very niece! I really liked how you took each step to explain the details! Please make more Fall & Holiday tutorials. I need more ideas for gifts! Pittsburgh, PA
Hi Marie - It's un-be-leaf-able how cute your pot holders turned out. Autumn is my favorite time of year and most definitely my preferred color pallet. Thanks again for another wonderful and inspiring video tutorial. Sue B.
Thanks, Marie! I will have to make a leaf potholder or two. So pretty! I’m cutting old scraps from wheel chair bag, etc…Mississippi State maroon and white scraps.😍
I love your leaf pot holders. I think these will make Awesome Christmas gifts made from Christmas fabric. I do like the Autumn Colour’s also. Thanks from a very informative tutorial.
Morning Marie! The leaf potholder is super adorable! I guess I've have to pull out the autumn fabrics again, lol. :) I'm making pillow case dresses for Xmas for the little girls in Africa right now. I've not made a dress before. These are so cute and easy, maybe I'll make something else clothes wise. I'm thinking pajamas for the family... Enjoy sewing your potholders. I'll get to this as soon as possible. Hehehe!
Aw, I'm so glad you enjoyed the project. I love making them... so fun and quick!! Thanks for watching and for taking the time to comment, I really appreciate it!
These leaf potholders are really cute and would make very nice gifts. I’ve never made bias binding, so that will be a new thing for me to do. I love your fun fall fabrics too!
Love the potholder colors ! I think Fall is definitely in the air 😊 Bias binding 🤩I haven't tried it yet but looks nice on those & I like the angle you got with the camera to show it better 👍Thanks for the company !
Thank you Sue! This video has been one of my most popular. People really liked the autumn leaf shaped potholders. I have a lot of fun making this video.
I love the leaf potholders! Here's a tip: Take a small Gatorade drink bottle or similar (28 oz) & cut off the bottom. Spray your basting spray through the drink end and point the bottom where you want the spray to be applied. I still use newspapers underneath my project but it helps to keep the spray from floating all over the place.
Hi Marie! A friend of mine introduced me to you because of your t-shirt tote bags. I've not seen most of your videos but when I saw what your What's up Wednesday showed for today, I had to watch it. Was so glad to see someone posted the link to this video!!! I LOVE these 💗💗
You’re welcome 😊 They would make great Christmas gifts! One of my other subscribers made them out of blue scraps last year and they were gorgeous! I hope you have a lot of fun sewing yours, I'm sure the recipients will love them!
I'm so happy to hear that! I'm only glad that I was able to help. Thank you so much for watching and for taking the time to comment, I appreciate that!
These Leaf Potholders were mentioned during your live, today, so I had to check them out. I'm so going to try to make some! I'm very happy that you are beginning to feel better.
Hi Tracy! I'm so happy you were able to join me for my livestream and that you like the leaf shaped pot holders. They are just so fun to make and they work up quickly and people are very impressed with them. I'm sure you will wow whoever you make them for. Have fun!
I wish I'd have found your channel earlier, I might have gotten my sew-jo back before two weeks before Christmas. Love these. Can't wait for the January lull to start sewing for the year's gifts. Thank you for sharing all phases of the cycle...
Glad you like them! Well, no matter when you found me, I'm very glad you're here now! I hope you have a great rest of your week and a very Merry Christmas!
Hello in Indonesia! Thank you so much for watching and sharing my video with your friends. I really appreciate that you did that. I hope you have a great day and happy sewing!
You are so welcome and I’m glad you like them! I just came across a set that I sewed up last year and it reminded me that I would like to gather some scraps to make up some new sets this year. Of course, I have nothing in mind to do with them once I sew them, but you know how that goes. 🍁🪡🧵
Thank you, Marie. I'm glad I stuck around, too (even tho' it's late now)!! You're a good teacher, with nice details. THX! They are beautiful & I do luv fall colors, too. The leaf pattern is a great idea! I hated to see you cut off some of it. I would just make it larger...never hurts 😊 So I finally got to see one of your tutorials and not just chatting! lol Hope I can take time to make some this season. They'd def. become a gift bc I hoard pretty stuff, esp. things that take my time to produce, so I'd rather give it away than hoard it. Knowhutimean?! Thx again! You're a blessing 💜
Hello! Thank you so much for your kindness. I really loved reading it! I put out a tutorial every other Sunday morning, and then the live streams, which are chatty, every Wednesday morning. I should’ve had a tutorial out today, but I didn’t have a good week, so I wasn’t able to get a video done. I’m so happy you enjoyed this video, and I hope you make some beef pot holders of your own! I was able to finish up all the leaf potholders that I had cut out and get them all sewn up this morning. One set was much larger because as you say, it went to waste on one of them. But I was just trying to show people how to use the pattern and that’s why I cut it like that yesterday.
@@MariesScrappyCreations thank you, Marie. We didn't have a great week, either. But can't complain...too many blessings! I remembered you saying that, & that you wake very early. I do too, but don't usually stay up. So you were able to get all those done! Your color choices were so pretty! Thx for taking the time to write. I don't get that much sewing time, even tho' "retired". My priorities & eye health (since surgery Spring '22) has left me very light sensitive (mild descrip. of my vision issues). But I'm thankful, nonetheless, that I can still see. Wishing you much success with your sewing channel.
I'm ao glad ypu enjoyed this! In case you missed it, I'm doing a live stream sew-along for these potholders today and id love for you to join in! (I'm just getting ready to post it on group, the time is set for 2 pm EST)
You’re very welcome! I love these potholders, too! They have been one of my most popular videos, and in fact, it was picked up by a website, called DIY joy, and they did an article on it. I was overwhelmed and ecstatic when I found out, ha ha. I hope you give these a try and of course, they don’t need to be done in only autumn colors, and can be done in most any color scheme that a person could think of. Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to comment!
I just found your channel and I must say, I just love this potholder leaf design. I made one similar a couple of years ago but it was very fiddley to make. Yours went together so much easier. I did subscribe as I enjoyed your video.
I am so glad you found me! Welcome! We Mainers have to stick together! Speaking of sticking… it snowed here in Aroostook last night, but it didn’t stick. lol!
I love this pattern! I mess up the spray basting too...I have the same $1.00 cans from Waterville Marden's. So glad I "bought it when I saw it". Thanks for the great tutorial.
These leaf potholders are absolutely adorable!!!! Bias binding wasn’t as difficult as I feared! I’ve fabric I thought I’d use & haven’t YET! (Yet being the operative word here!lol) The hubs just doesn’t get it! 😂Thanks for this, Marie! 🥰
Thank you! I love this and going to make. I'm not much of a table runner person but this will be great for practice. I'm newish to quilting and struggle with matching seams and 1/4 " seams.
You are so welcome! This pattern is very forgiving with seem allowances. I hope you give it a try, I bet you’ll be pleasantly surprised. Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to leave me a comment. Happy sewing!
That’s awesome… hello fellow Mainer! I just did a quick video (I’ll link it below) of walking through most of the aisles of the local Marden’s (I’m in Aroostook county, but from Augusta). Thanks for saying “hello” and thanks for watching! th-cam.com/video/tY8YTbwSM1k/w-d-xo.htmlsi=aeYD7OXDMF8hj9Se
What a cute leaf pot holder! Great job Marie! I have a bunch of Double fold Bias quilt binding that was gifted to me....wonder if that would work? I may have to try it. 😁
Hi Trinette! I have never tried the bias tape on this project, but I guess my answer would be that it would depend on what the width of it was. You need something that's 1.75" wide and if it's that wide, then I would guess it would work. Please let me know if you end up using it and how it ended up.
Yes. When I use a decorative stitch (which is most of the time), I start by using very short (1.6 or 1.8 mm) stitches, going back a few stitches, and then forward a few stitches. Then, I stitch along and also I do the same at the end, with back-tacking with the small stitch.
Marie, I printed out the pattern today to make this potholder. I was wondering, if you were to sell these as a set of 2, how much would you sell them for? Please help me decide? Thanks for the pattern. You're the best!
Hi! Ahh, pricing... I am terrible at pricing my projects. When I sell them, I tend to undersell myself, or at least that's what I'm told. The one thing I do want to say is that it really does depend on where you live. Let's say I have sewn a basic, easy set of square potholders... nothing fancy and quick to sew. If I went to sell that where I live in northern Maine, I couldn't charge more than $10 for them. But, in southern Maine, I could charge $20 and I would get it. That's the difficult thing about pricing, is it really does depend on where you live. All that being said, I would say that I would not go under $15 for a set of these, because they are time consuming (and beautiful!)
Hi Sylvia! I had thought about that, but I'm not really sure. The only reason I say that is because you could quilt the strips together alright, but when you went to sew the 2 sections together in the middle, I think it would be quite bulky. I could be wrong, though.
Marie - Just discovered your quilting videos. SUPER! One question about the pretty Fall Scrap Potholders - If I make each strip an inch or so longer, will the potholder come out slightly larger (with more binding)?
Hi and welcome to my channel! Yes, you could make it larger. I've done it and you can either print out the pattern at a larger scale, or just draw ut the size you'd Ike it to be.
I'm sorry you found that confusing and i'm also sorry I didn't see this comment until now. I always avoided projects calling for bias binding because I didn't understand how to make it. Then comma one day I sat down and told myself that I was going to learn it. Maybe you'll give it another shot at some point, or I suppose you could try it with straight binding. What about buying the premade bias binding?
Hi Linda! You absolutely can, if your machine will handle the thickness. Because of where it's sewn, and the bulk there already, I know that my machine will not go through it. In my previous potholder tutorial, I folded under. Thanks!
Today we're going to make a cute potholder using some of our Autumn colored scraps! Such a fun and quick project that will brighten up any kitchen! You'll want to make a few sets!
For this project, you'll need:
* Two 9" squares of sewn together strips from your scrap bin
* Bias binding to compliment the colors you used in the potholder
- I used an 18" square, cut into width of 1.75" and a tutorial will be listed below, if you're new to making bias binding.
* 2-3 Layers of Cotton batting or combination of cotton batting and insulbrite
- I used 3 layers of cotton batting in the video
* Piece of backing fabric for each potholder

- I printed the pattern at 105%, but it's not necessary

You need something that's 1.75" wide and if it's that wide, then I would guess it would work. Please let me know if you end up using it and how it ended up.
You could use a starter piece of fabric, to help you out. 🇨🇦
That's true! Hello in canada! 🖐
Mardens!?!?! You must be in Maine. Me too!
I am indeed. Hello, fellow Mainer! I’m from August, living in Presque Isle. You?
Marie - Are you doing a few backstitches in the center when you start quilting each strip?
Yes. When I use a decorative stitch (which is most of the time), I start by using very short (1.6 or 1.8 mm) stitches, going back a few stitches, and then forward a few stitches. Then, I stitch along and also I do the same at the end, with back-tacking with the small stitch.
Marie, I printed out the pattern today to make this potholder. I was wondering, if you were to sell these as a set of 2, how much would you sell them for? Please help me decide? Thanks for the pattern. You're the best!
Hi! Ahh, pricing... I am terrible at pricing my projects. When I sell them, I tend to undersell myself, or at least that's what I'm told. The one thing I do want to say is that it really does depend on where you live. Let's say I have sewn a basic, easy set of square potholders... nothing fancy and quick to sew. If I went to sell that where I live in northern Maine, I couldn't charge more than $10 for them. But, in southern Maine, I could charge $20 and I would get it. That's the difficult thing about pricing, is it really does depend on where you live. All that being said, I would say that I would not go under $15 for a set of these, because they are time consuming (and beautiful!)
@MariesScrappyCreations thank you Marie for your feedback. I really appreciate it! I live in SE Kansas. (Independence)
Could you use a quilt as you go method?
Hi Sylvia! I had thought about that, but I'm not really sure. The only reason I say that is because you could quilt the strips together alright, but when you went to sew the 2 sections together in the middle, I think it would be quite bulky. I could be wrong, though.
Catching up
Marie - Just discovered your quilting videos. SUPER! One question about the pretty Fall Scrap Potholders - If I make each strip an inch or so longer, will the potholder come out slightly larger (with more binding)?
Hi and welcome to my channel! Yes, you could make it larger. I've done it and you can either print out the pattern at a larger scale, or just draw ut the size you'd Ike it to be.
I am trying to make these potholders. Where can I get a pattern for your leaf?
It's listed in the description box below the video, but I will paste it here for you. Happy sewing!

I bought file folders for 15 cents at walmart to use. I tried looking at the directions for binding too confusing to me.
I'm sorry you found that confusing and i'm also sorry I didn't see this comment until now. I always avoided projects calling for bias binding because I didn't understand how to make it. Then comma one day I sat down and told myself that I was going to learn it. Maybe you'll give it another shot at some point, or I suppose you could try it with straight binding. What about buying the premade bias binding?
I found a you tube video and I think I might try it. I will see thank you Marie.
❤
couldn't you fold the end in at the end of the look then you would not have a raw edge
Hi Linda! You absolutely can, if your machine will handle the thickness. Because of where it's sewn, and the bulk there already, I know that my machine will not go through it. In my previous potholder tutorial, I folded under. Thanks!
