Create a stunning Folded Star Potholder that's both beautiful and functional with this tutorial!
This modern folded star potholder design works perfectly as both a potholder and a hot pad. Known by several names such as the Folded Star, Amish Star, and Somerset Star, this eye-catching block features a unique fabric origami appearance created through careful folding and layering of fabrics.
Our folded star pattern is made up of fabric rectangles that are folded into triangular shapes and arranged on a base fabric (foundation fabric); they are then sewn in place with a sewing machine. No Hand Sewing! Despite its intricate appearance, it’s a simple technique that you can complete in a short amount of time.
This pattern works well using fabric from your fabric stash, scrap fabric or making themed pot holders for special occasions such as housewarming, Christmas, or hostess gifts. Spruce up your kitchen by creating some for yourself.
