When Life Gives You Lemons...

.....you make lemonade, right?  And when a well-intentioned sewing project goes south with a bullet....make it in to a potholder.  This was going to be a little cosmetic case, but the binding was a disaster, and what looked easy as a concept turned out a little more complicated.

So, I  doubled up the length of it and threw a binding on all  4 sides.  It isn't a cost-effective potholder, but I hate to waste it and the whole project was just not salvageable. It is an elegant thing, but it won't look like this for long.  Until then,  I can pretend that all my potholders are quasi-designer and that I never make a mess in the kitchen.
