Step 2

After this, get 2 pcs 20 x 4.5cm of the fabric you used in the outer. Clip them on both sides of the hot dish basket (right sides facing down), then sew with a 0.7cm seam allowance. Flip this fabric, roll it to the back, clip it, then sew. Next, mark 5cm on all 4 sides of the hot dish basket, then draw a diagonal line from this mark. Insert the 2 handles you made earlier and sew them along the diagonal line you drew. Flip it and your hot dish basket is now finished.

Note: If you want to use it in the microwave, make sure that you use 100% cotton fabric, cotton batting, and thread to make it work.
