I just had the idea to use wool socks that have holes in the heel as a filler for hot pads. The outside could be old jeans or whatever. Wool would be good by itself, too, since it is flame retardant.

Anna-
If you google Sunbonnet Sue, there is a website that has free patterns of her. Here is one of them:

That's a great idea for hot pads! I think I'll make some for neighbors for Christmas!

Do you have any patterns for a kitchen towel that has a profile of a person with a bonnet attached to the head. it is made out of material and sewed onto the towel. This is just one, but if you know of the patterns or a book, can you let me know.

I have found that old cotton dish towels make great napkins. I had some checked towels that I cut into the size napkins I wanted and then I simply turned the raw edges under and "whip stiched" the edges all around. I even dressed them up a bit by adding old buttons on the corners just for fun. They turned out really cute in my "country" kitchen. I keep them in a little basket on the kitchen table and I have not bought paper napkins in months! I have also started to do the same w/an old tatterd table cloth. I just keep the "project" by my bed and work on it as I watch T.V. at night. I could sew these up quicker I suppose on my machine, but it gives me something to do while I watch T.V. besides EAT!!!!!!
