Today’s feature tip is from My Longest Year with the tutorial for how to make oven mitts

I have provided templates for both a child-sized and adult-sized oven mitt. Trace as instructed on the template if you have preferences for fabric placement (for instance, I wanted the red fabric to be on “top”).

Materials Needed: 9″x12″ each fabric A&B, scraps of fabric C for trims, 1/4 yd lining fabric (cotton), and 1/4 yd batting (if making a play mitt, you can use what you have around the house for batting; if making a useable mitt, use 100% cotton or Insul Brite or both)

This is a nice simple pattern that anyone can follow. A good idea for recycling items around the house: use a couple layers of cleaned old towels or blankets as the batting for the oven mitt.

Best part of making your own oven mitts is that you can choose fabrics to match your kitchen decor perfectly!
