woolies

Yesterday when I'd had all the organizing I could take in my little sewing sweatshop

I quickly cleared a space to sew a couple of wool hot pad holders.

 

 

I found my box of wool pieces and  reclaimed sweaters while cleaning.

 

 

Wool is naturally heat and water repellent.

They are soft to use and wrap around pot and pan handles easily.

These are constructed from two layers of the sweater wool and then quilted.

I had previously felted the wool in the washer and dryer.

 

 

And while I was making hot pads

Grandpa was trying out his new scroll saw

 to make our youngest granddaughter these little cut out animals.
