Cozy is the theme this winter! With that in mind, let’s sew a heat resistant oven mitt in the craft room so we can make comforting homemade meals in the kitchen.
SUPPLIES:


supplies FABRICS:

  • 1/2 yard thick cotton for the outer layer
  • Heat-resistant batting for the middle layer
  • Regular batting
  • 1/2 year medium weight cotton for the inner layer


Cut two 10 x 12 inch pieces from each fabric.

If you want your oven mitt personalized, add embroidery to one side of the outer layer fabric now.

To make the pattern, simply draw a mitt-shape around your hand on the craft paper and cut it out.

Cut two pieces of each material, so you have a front and a back side of each.

cutting fabric layers

Sew each piece of material around each layer individually: top layer, heat resistant layer, batting layer and inside layer.

You will end up with four separate mitts.

Once all the layers of the mitt are inserted into one another, trim the raw edge at the cuff.
