It's a Sew4Home original pattern, and we offer it as a free download. The Simply Sweet fabrics on the two mitts are so bright and cheery, it made me want to slip them on and wear them around the kitchen, just waiting for something hot to pull out of the oven. After awhile, when no one showed up with a tray of cookies, I reluctantly took them off. This project is a bit more advanced than many we offer here at Sew4Home, mainly because of all the layers and the mitered bias binding.

However, don't let that scare you away. Our thanks to Barbara Jones, the designer of the beautiful fabric collection we used: Simply Sweet for Henry Glass & Company.

Scrappy Oven Mitts

I started by piecing together the FABULOUS scraps from Amy’s parcel to create fabric sheets. I used one layer of Warm & Natural batting and one layer of Insul-Brite. I waited until today to post this because I tested the Insul-Brite’s heat reflecting capacity with last night’s dinner. I made this easy and absolutely delicious crab recipe (first one in the article) which required my oven to be at 500 degrees. Microwave Mitt Pattern. After playing around with my microwave fingertip mitts pattern I've decided to revise it.

For one thing the measurements I was using made the mitts too large for my liking. So here are what I consider better instructions On a piece of butcher's paper or on a blank piece of paper draw a rectangle 7 ½” x 4 ½”. Then cut out on the lines of the rectangle. Fold the rectangle in half lengthwise and then again widthwise and cut an arc.

Fold your fabric right sides together and iron the butcher's paper template, wax side down, to your fabric. Cut one more shape from cotton batting, and another from Insulbrite. These end pieces will now become your template for the finger pieces of your mitt. Open the binding out and pin to your mitt end. Fold and pin the binding around the straight end of your mitt and edge stitch down. Optional: If you wish you can add a magnet to your mitt so that it can be hung on the side of your microwave (if it's metal) or a nearby appliance such as the refrigerator. How to Sew Oven Mitts.

ScrapBusters: Two-Handed Pot Holder

Hot pads are perfect for scraps because they are small, simple shapes that cry out for mixing and matching. We 'stretched' our possibilities by making a long, two-handed version. Kind of like those 'idiot mittens' you used to have as a kid; one mitten on the each end of a string running through the arms of your coat. However, we didn't think 'idiot hot pads' sounded very good. I don't know about you, but I always set down my pot holders on opposite sides of the kitchen so when I need both to pull something out of the oven or off the stove, I never seem to have two within reach.

Bye bye cheap-o Frigidaire …momma’s got a double oven now with a griddle on top. And it was just begging for some nice oven mitts. I made this free oven mitts sewing pattern shape by eyeballing oven mitts for sale online and then drawing around my hand. I like the oven mitt shape overall but be advised that it’s size medium-ish – if you want more room just increase the size a bit on a copier. I didn’t want the quilting to show on the outside of the mitts – I wanted the smoother fabric look on the outside – so I quilted the inside first and then on the outside fabric.
