Last month, we brought you a

pattern and ideas for some new and

trendy hot pads to add to your

kitchen's repertoire.

This month, we're heating things up once more, with a pattern to take your oven

mitts to a new level. Enjoy!

NOTE: This pattern involves machine sewing and a small amount of quilting.

Please contact me at [email protected] if I can be of any help in

completing this project!

Happy Sewing!

Materials Needed to Make One Oven Mitt:

*Sharp Scissors

*1/4 yard of each:

*fabric #1(main fabric)

*fabric #2 for lining (I used denim)

*Insulated batting, such as "Insul-Brite"

*Quilt batting, such as "Warm and Natural" or "Warm and White"

*15" x 3" or 7 1/2" x 6" scrap of coordinating fabric for the trim

*Coordinating thread

*Water soluble pencil

*Jean/denim needle for the sewing machine (this is important!)

Cutting and Preparing the Fabric:

Before cutting the

printed pattern, be sure

that each page isprinting to scale by using

the 1" square as a guide.

Cut and tape the oven

mitt pattern as directed

on the pattern.

1. With the fabric folded,

cut two mirrored oven

mitt shapes of each

fabric:

*main fabric

*lining fabric

*Insul-Brite

*Warm & Natural

2. Cut two rectangles of the coordinating fabric that measure 7 1/2" x 3". Set

aside.

3. Next, you'll want to

create grid lines on the

main fabric to follow as

you quilt the parts of the

oven mitt together. To

do this, use the straight

edge ruler and water

soluble pencil to draw

diagonal lines across

both cut out sections of

the main fabric.

Measure and draw lines

every 2" in perpendicular

directions across the

diagonal of the oven mitt

shapes.

Creating the "Oven Mitt Sandwich":

4. Now layer the oven mitt shapes

as shown in the photo, making sure

to place the lining fabric right side

down. Repeat with the second set

of oven mitt shapes.

5. Pin both "sandwiches" well around the edges and in the center. Safety pins

are a great choice to help prevent the fabric from shifting, as is basting around

the edges of the fabric.

Quilting the Oven Mitt:

*Because of the thickness of the oven mitt, you'll want to be sure to use a

jeans/denim needle in your sewing machine so that you don't break it going

through the many layers.

6. Starting at a centrally

located line with the first

set of layered shapes,

sew along one drawnline to the opposite

edge. Continue sewing

along each drawn line

until the oven mitt is

quilted entirely. Repeat

with the second set of

shapes.

**Keep in mind that the layered shapes will shift somewhat as you sew, so try to

ease the fabrics as you go to prevent them from puckering.

7. When you have finished

quilting each set of oven mittshapes, trim the edges that

may have shifted, taking care

to keep each set equal in size

to the other. Both sets of

quilted shapes should look

something like this:

Attaching the Decorative Band:

8. Now take the two

rectangular sections

of coordinating trim

fabric, and mark and

fold as shown in the

photo:

9. On the lining side of

each quilted section,

mark a line 1" from the

edge.

10. Align the marked

line of the trim fabric to

the marked 1" line of

the quilted shape and

pin.

Repeat for the second

quilted shape.

11. Sew along the line as

shown.

12. Now flip the fabric

up toward the edge of

the oven mitt and press.Repeat with the other

set of layered and

quilted shapes.

13. Now fold the

coordinating fabric toward

the right side of the oven mitt,

and pin the folded edge just

past the seam line. Top stitchabout 1/8" from the edge.

Repeat with the second set of

shapes.

Sewing the Two Oven Mitt Sections Together:

14. With the main fabrics right

sides together, pin the two

sections together around the

edges.

15. With 1/2" seam allowances,

sew around the edges, beginning

at one side of the decorative trim,

and ending at the other.

16. Reinforce the stitch line

between the thumb and

fingers by sewing an

additional row of stitches as

shown in the photo:

17. Trim the edges as

directed in the photo, and

clip at several spots around

the curves and especially

between the thumb and

fingers to allow the fabric to

freely move when the ovenmitt is in use. (Careful not to

clip through the seam line!)

18. Using a wide zig-zag

stitch, carefully sew around

the edges to provide a

finished edge. This part is a

little tricky, as you are sewing

through 8 layers of fabric! Be

sure you have your denim

needle in place and sew

slowly.

19. When your

finishing stitches are

complete, turn the

oven mitt right sides

out, using the end ofa wooden spoon if

needed to push out

the fabric in the

thumb.

With that final step,

your oven mitt is now

ready for use!

Happy sewing, and happy

cooking!
