Sew Your Own Oven Mitt 12/18

Make Your Own Heat Protectant Oven Mitt! 

• Wednesday, December 18th, 12-2pm.

$25 - All materials provided or bring some of your own that you'd like to make your mitt out of!* 

This class will teach you to sew a functional oven mitt from fabric, scraps, or an old quilt. 

This is a great way to reuse items that maybe are past their prime. You could make a new heirloom out of a worn out one. The pattern involves curves, so a good understanding of basic to intermediate sewing skills are important. 

You can even take this to another level with embroidery, buttons, fabric yo-yos or other embellishments or use your mending skills from our Mending class or Shashiko classes with Ms. Sue and bring those pieces you’ve hand crafted to life! Or take your finished oven mitt to that class for even more creative ideas. 

*Materials necessary: 

• Bring your own machine, or borrow one of our vintage machines. (Please don’t forget your machine pedal and power cord)
• Thread
• Fabric Scissors or a Rotary Cutter if you have
• Fabric, “cutter” quilt (one you’re ok with cutting up), denim or really anything you’d like to use as your outside. Coordinating fabric for the lining. Pieces should be about 1/2 a yard or more for the outside and another piece about 1/2 yard for the interior lining. Fabric, thread, and some quilt “flimsies” are available for purchase at ScrapRVA.

This class is taught by one of our long-time instructors, Molly.
