This handmade pot holder is great. The simple colours and print of the fabric used are what make this pot holder unique. The blue trim works great with the fabric colours. There is wadding between the layers of fabric. It is aslo pre washed, so when it is in need of a clean, it will not shrink. It can be used as a pot holder, as a trivet for a pot or cup of tea, and on a dresser as a place to put everyday items. The measurements are 28.5cm x 18cm (11.2" x 7").
