Pot holders

This shape of pot holder is useful and easy to make for me. These are for my personal use.

(left) top fablic: Tenugui, Japanese traditional cotton washcloth
Tenugui has a lot of traditional patterns and modern patterns, so I love to browse some Tenuguis at the Tenugui shop. My favorite Tenugui shops are Fujiya and Kamawanu. I forget the shop where I bought this Tenugui...

(right) top fablic: US antique feedsack
I also love feedsacks and I used to get them at Cottonfield, Kichijoji, Tokyo. But when I went there at the beginning of this year, the clerk said they didn't offer feedsacks anymore. I miss the feedsacks at Cottonfield...

The back sides of the pot holders.
These are four layers of cotton and towel.

自分用鍋つかみが古くなってきたので新しいものをこしらえました。上の写真の左が手ぬぐい、右がアメリカのヴィンテージフィードサックを使っています。手ぬぐいは、浅草の「ふじ屋」と、「かまわぬ」のものが好きです。フィードサックは、吉祥寺コットンフィールドでよく買っていましたが、最近取り扱い終了したようで悲しいです。。
