I have finished, at least for now, my own set of "vintage" potholders for my kitchen. I had so much fun making these! What I did do was update them a bit so I can actually use them. If you make them as the patterns state, the only thing you can use those for is looking at, or as a kind of hot pad for your counter…they WON'T protect you from cast iron skillets that have been in the oven! I added a layer of thermal batting for potholders between the layers so that I won't get burned when I use them. These aren't just for pretty!
The patterns (from top to bottom, left to right) can be found at these links.
