We have a lot of jeans that are torn or too small, so I made these potholders from the pockets without any sewing: no-sew Jean pocket potholders! A lovely, usable upcycling project!
Did I mention it is no-sew and soooooo easy?
Here is what to do: loosen the back pockets(this step takes the longest). You need 2 pockets per potholder.
Cut a piece of batting a little bit smaller than the pockets:
Glue the batting down on the one pocket with a strong fabric glue. I suppose a glue gun could also work.
Before adding the other pocket, use two Jean loops and glue it down first, then the other pocket:
Let it dry and then iron both sides for the glue to set.
Ready for use!
I kept mine simple, but one could add some trimmings: lacing, buttons, bows etc. if that is your fancy! In hind thought, add a kid handprint with the date for a keepsake for a granny!
