I used an old pair of jean and cut the pocket off then appliqued the bird on then cut out the background and backing from a leg. I sewed the pocket back to the front and used heat resistant batting then binded.

dglvr - you are a clever soul! Looks so darned cute.

Oh, what a great and clever idea!!!! I love that. I've been storing old jeans forever now, and that would be fun to do with the pockets.

I have been saving jeans for a denim quilt and NOW I know what to do with some of the pockets!!! Awesome idea, thank you for sharing your cute potholder with us!!!:D:D:D

How clever! I like it!

That is the cutest pot holder I have ever seen. Great job.

Very clever!

Great idea! I love it.

That's a fun idea. I like it.

I love this idea. Very clever of you.

I think you did GREAT!
I was/am looking for some pictures from quilt til you wilt event <g> ...
so, I have done a search ... and VIOLA! here you is, and how did I miss this? You have hidden talents :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: <wave>

VERY clever! I just may do the same thing! It's a great use of jeans that can't be worn any more and because denim is so thick, it's the perfect fabric for a potholder!

That is so pretty. Great idea!

neato!

What a cute way to use up old jeans! Great Christmas gift idea.

Very clever and cute, but please let us know how well it works out when you handle something hot.

L-O-V-E-L-Y IDEA !!!!!

to cute, I love it.

really cute

It does work great. I use that insulated batting in it.
I use it as a trivet on my table for hot stuff too.
Thanks
