Before you cut the fabric, wash it, and iron it well first. Make sure to use materials that can withstand the heat! Cotton and special heat-enduring quilting batting such as insul-bright, as well as an adequate thread, is the best way to go.
Use the pattern as a guide and cut out 7 pieces: four squares from the main fabric, 2 from the second fabric, and one from the batting. Make sure that both are able to withstand heat. Pure cotton is my recommendation.
You can make one of the two designs – one is triangular and the other – rectangular as shown in the first image
Take four pieces of the main fabric and fold them so that they form a triangle*. If you decided to use two types of main fabric, two of these four triangles should be one fabric and the rest from the other. Press all four triangles flat with an iron.
Make a three-layer quilt sandwich from the remaining two pieces of the main fabric, and one piece of batting. The batting should be in the middle and the right sides of the two main fabric pieces should be facing outward.
Align the three layers and use pins or clips to secure them together.
* If you want to make the rectangular design, just fold the squares in half and align each piece with one of the sides in step 5
Make two diagonal stitches across the fabric sandwich so that they form an X mark.
Now you need to set the triangle pieces on top of the sandwich piece.
Take one triangle and place it onto the sandwich piece with its raw corner on one corner of the sandwich piece. Align the edges.
Then place another triangle in the same manner, but with its raw corner on the next corner of the sandwich piece. Repeat the process with the remaining triangles.
When you get to the last piece, you will need to lift one half of the first triangle and slide the last piece under it. Then just lower the half you lifted.
If you did everything right, all of the raw edges of the triangles will be on the outside, while the folds will be on the inside. Pin or clip all layers in place.
About 4 inches long fabric strip or string will do. Fold it in half so that the short edges meet. Then place it between the layers on the corner. Keep its raw edges facing the corner, and its fold facing the center of the rectangle.
Sew all around the rectangle with a quarter-inch seam allowance. Clip the corners but be careful not to catch the thread.
Turn the entire thing inside-out through the opening in the middle of the rectangle, where the triangles meet. Poke out the corners with a chopstick or the back of a pencil, and press everything flat.
That’s it, now you know how to sew a hot pad! Here is how the front and back look
