We will need:
- Scraps of fabric/fabric/embroidered fabric.
- Dublerin (for product strength).
Fillers:
- insulation (for potholders).
- holofiber / cotton wool (for pillows).
- Bias tape (can be made from fabric or purchased ready-made).
For decoration: satin ribbon, ribbon.
![We will need](https://i.washerhouse.com/images/4/1178-nam-ponadobitsya.jpg)
Making potholders:
Step 1: Prepare 4 square pieces of fabric measuring 10x10. One of these squares can be cut out from embroidery, placing the design in the center. We also cut out an 18×18 square from dublerin, fabric and insulation.
![prepare 4 square pieces](https://i.washerhouse.com/images/4/1179-gotovim-4-kvadratnyh-kusochka.jpg)
Step 2: Lay out 10×10 scraps, combining colors and choosing the best option.

Step 3: Sew 2 squares together in pairs.

To make the finished product look neat, iron the seams.

Then we grind together the 2 resulting rectangles and get one large square - the “cover” of the potholder.

We also iron the seam.
Step 4: To ensure that the product does not lose its appearance after washing and lasts longer, you need to use dublerin: use an iron to fix a square of dublerin on the wrong side of the cover.

Step 5: We layer the future tack:
1 layer – fabric 18×18
2nd layer – insulation 18×18
3rd layer – cover

Use scissors to slightly round the corners.
Step 6: We sew the edges with bias tape, not forgetting the allowance for the hanger.

Ready product.

Making pillows:
Pillows are sewn similarly to potholders. In this case, you can sew the base of the pillow, stuffed with halofiber, and the pillowcase-cover separately. Then washing and ironing the product will not cause difficulties.
Step 1: For the base, cut out a 20×38 rectangle and holofiber. Fold the rectangle in half, right side to right side. We sew along the edge, leaving a section of 7-10 cm unsewn. Turn it right side out, stuff it with holofiber and sew it
![stuff with holofiber and sew](https://i.washerhouse.com/images/4/1190-nabivaem-hollofayberom-i-sshivaem.jpg)
Step 2: For the cover, cut out 12 squares measuring 7x7, a square for the front (with a pattern or embroidery) 12x12, a square for the back 20x20, a rectangle 6x20.
![Embroidery pattern](https://i.washerhouse.com/images/4/1197-shema-vyshivki.jpg)
We sew together the top 4 squares, the bottom 4 squares, then 2 side squares in the middle.
![side squares in the middle](https://i.washerhouse.com/images/4/1191-bokovyh-kvadrata-poseredine.jpg)
Iron the seams and assemble the pattern of the front part. If desired, you can decorate the resulting canvas with a satin ribbon or ribbon.
Step 4: Assembling the pillowcase. Place the 20×20 square and front piece, back to back. To the right side of the back piece, we attach a 6×20 strip from the top, wrong side to right side.
![Assembling the pillowcase](https://i.washerhouse.com/images/4/1192-sobiraem-navolochku.jpg)
Step 5: Sew the pillowcase along the very edge.
![Sew a pillowcase](https://i.washerhouse.com/images/4/1193-sshivaem-navolochku.jpg)
Cut off the corners.
![Carefully turn inside out](https://i.washerhouse.com/images/4/1194-akkuratno-vyvorachivaem-naiznanku.jpg)
Step 6: Carefully turn it inside out and stitch at a distance of 0.5-0.7 cm from the edge.

We put the resulting pillowcase cover on the base.
