Fiber Arts Monday – Potholders

Making potholders on a loom is a great beginner project. It was the first crafty thing I ever learned as a kid. I remember giving potholders to everyone for Christmas. I believe that was the beginning of my love for fiber arts!

I recommend a metal loom over the plastic ones, it will last a life time. The plastic ones break easily. The cotton loops are best! You can order refill loops in bulk, and even in single colors.

What are some other good beginner projects?

Fiber art is anything that includes stitching, weaving, quilting, sewing, rug making, crocheting, knitting, spinning, etc…

Each Monday we can share ideas, patterns, finished projects and ask questions about fiber arts in the comment section.

You can also link up to your blog post or photo account that is related to fiber arts, I just ask that you link back to the most current Fiber Arts Monday post. Just leave your post link in the comment section and tell us what it is.

So how ’bout it? Do you have a project you are working or want to work on? Let’s share some inspiration!

Titus 2:3 says that we are to be "...teachers of good things...". We believe that part of these good things are practical skills that we all need in every day life to care for our family and neighbors. One of our primary responsibilities as parents is equip our children with the skills and tools to one day be productive, well rounded adults. Children need to be exposed to many different areas of work. Not only should they know how to work, but they should want to work. May the favor of the Lord our God rest upon us; establish the work of our hands for us- yes, establish the work of our hands. Psalm 90:17
