I haven't made this type myself but I do know of some sewers
who make hot pads and pot holders out of old woolen blankets.
They sandwich the material between whatever cloth and color
that matches their kitchen scheme. Finish it off with matching
binding and a loop to hang the potholder. I use the padded
silver cloth that ironing board covers are made of.
