Just found this... printed it out and will try it soon. THANK YOU for the free pattern :thumbup:

comparison-

the lip part is 2 pieces sewn together and stuff the middle- you have the pieces and middle and then the binding- easier to handle.

You baste the edges but it still moves a lot. Your "lips" are smaller so they are easier to handle too.

Might be just me....

I think I understand what you're saying. The other pattern doesn't have binding, and the small parts on the "back" don't have batting? (personally I really dislike oven mitts that aren't "heat shielded" on every part - because if they aren't I manage to burn myself somehow :lol: )

Thank you for this pattern. I need to make some of these mitts. ;)

Thanks a lot for the pattern, I tried to make these a while back but can't seem to be able to sew nicely the bias tape, what is your trick to do a nice job?

craftybear

cool idea and can't wait to make one

I explain it in the pattern a little. You may need to use the wider bias tape the first couple of times until you get the hang of it. Mostly, it's keeping a good tension on the tape around the curve, use a zig-zag stitch, and go SLOWLY. I probably have to stop and readjust the tape frequently, too. If you are really having a problem with it, if you zig-zag stich around the entire raw sandwich edge before you apply the bias tape, that may help you get it wrapped around well.
