I have made up another hot pad for a different occasion and made it 12" x 16" because that is the size that worked best with the piece of flannel I had on hand. I layered in two layers of cotton batting with a layer of metallic insulated fabric in between. I used cotton thread in order to make it all as heat resistant as possible. I made a reusable, removable and reversible cover for it using some coordinating fabrics. It makes is easy to have a special look for several occasions with four different choices. You can see the fabrics below. I cut the four pieces of cotton 13" x 17" and used 1/4" seams to assemble it and this one fits just a bit better than the last one on the pad that I made. Makes a perfect gift for anyone who wants to keep their table and counters undamaged when handling hot dishes from the oven. This one will accommodate a 9" x13" inch or several smaller ones such as 8" x 8" along with a loaf pan, etc.
I was late getting it ready so it will be set aside for a family event in the summer instead.
