Before and After Project #4 - Christmas Mittens

I wanted to make some gifts for my friends this year. I live in a new town since the last time I made these Christmas Mittens...so I thought...why not give it a go. I scrounged into the sewing boxes that have yet to be unpacked from the move (6.5 years ago) and found the long lost pattern. The pattern originates from a 12 or 13 year old Martha Stewart Magazine. Yup, that is before her time in jail. This pattern is old.....but with the adjustments I made....It still creates a perfect cozy warm mitten.  I had to venture to the fabric store in my newish town. Haven't done that in a VERY long time. Found the perfect Christmas colours and voila!

The cutting stage.

Ready for the sewing assembly line.

Mittens all done and ready to warm the hands of my friends. 

I hope they go over well. They are just so super cozy and comfortable and have a cuff that doesn't allow any air to creep up through your mittens. I will be sporting this new fashion along with 5 of my friends. I hope they like.

PS possibly have some extra pairs for sale.....$8.00 a pair plus the cost of shipping.
If you are interested in more than 1 pair ... leave a message and I will contact you.

  2. Thanks Kelli. Not gone, but everything attached to one of my emails is....including my facebook and the other blog. I hate it when kids update the computer.
