Instructions
First being by cutting your three pieces needed for this handle cover. You should have a main fabric piece, a lining piece, and the insul-brite batting.
Place your insulated batting on the bottom with your main fabric piece on top. Place your lining fabric on top of your main fabric piece pretty sides together. Sew one of the short (5 inch) ends.
Once sewn, open so both pretty sides of the fabric are facing up.
Fold in half a long the long sides of your fabric. Sew around all three edges, making sure you leave a small gap in the lining piece for turning.
Before your turn your piece I like to round my edges by sewing from one side of the fabric to the other. You can leave your piece as a rectangle but I like the look of the handle with the rounded edges.
Turn your handle piece right side out. Press with a hot iron and top stitch the opening closed.
Insert your lining into your main fabric piece and top stitch if desired. Now… go make some delicious skillet desserts and savory dishes so you can show off your new kitchen essential. These are great for those leftover scraps of fabric and would make a great gift!
