I remember making one of those back in 7th grade. I gave it to mom for christmas. This makes want to try again. Thanks Ellen!

Ms. Ellen I saw this with the utmost respect. I am glad that you talk to us about your setbacks and silly things you used to believe, when you were starting out. Or even today, if/when you've made a mistake. It shows me, that having a setback isn't the end of the world, and fixing it, only looks insurmountable in my mind. Thank You.

I just made a couple of these for the first time. I found a way to do the binding on the edge before closing the mit up. I sewed up the opposite side of the thumb together about 6 inches up. Then I did the sleeve binding adding a loop. When done, I closed the whole mit up and turned inside out. It was easier than trying to add the binding when it was closed up.

Excellent way to use those particular scraps!! Now you could combine this project with your brand new blacksmithing skills and use your new oven mits to help you make some hand forged chocolate chip cookies!

[@CraftsWithEllen]

Yummy 😍

I needed new oven mitts so I made a pair (just have the arm hole edge binding left to do). I wanted a set that would hold up to the heat. I haven't used mine yet but they feel like they will. I used my old mitts as a template. I was afraid I'd make them too narrow but they ended up being a bit wide. I'll have to tweak the pattern I made for the next set. I have a bit of leftover Insul-Brite, will use it to make a a big hotpad. I watched a few videos but this one resonated with me. Thanks for the instructions. BTW, you weren't kidding when you mentioned about the difficulty turning them right side out. lol

You are always making me rethink things around me that I can make! That is such a great tip to sew from the center out to prevent the layers from bunching up. And I am going to have to look at that bias tape maker. Who knew such a thing existed! Thank you so much for sharing!

[@sgsax]

You do such a great job of breaking down the process. One day I will be brave enough to try a sewing project. Thanks for sharing!

[@KarolineHinz]

Nice!! I made a pair when I was like 10 years old :D they looked okay but couldn't really handle (ha!) the heat that good so they were pretty useless

[@GrahamDallas]

You make it look so simple, great work.

[@AndyBirkeyMaker]

Dangit! Now I have to try and make some oven mitts! There goes my weekend.....🤬

[@CraftsWithEllen]

I'm not sorry ❤

[@AndyBirkeyMaker]

@@CraftsWithEllen I'm so mad right now. Oh, who am I trying to fool, I can't be mad at you. That makes me mad. It's maddening.

[@davebauerart]

Sounds like a good weekend to me.

[@GibClark]

Super cool 👍👍👍 I need to make these!! Ya make it look so easy. A bone folder is a real handy tool for turning things right side out....among other tasks. ( like real job of book making lol)

[@FredMcIntyre]

Those are perfect! 😃👌🏻 Great job Ellen! 👍🏻👊🏻

[@Geo-Shi]

[@PUSHCUT]

Now I know how to properly use bias tape! Thanks

[@JENNISWISS]

[@SylviePereiraSyPer]

[@FabioLeone94]

Great video 👌

[@GibClark]

Bias tape maker......sorcery....on shopping list

[@AndyBirkeyMaker]

Seriously

[@cookwithsadafnoor9313]

Thank you💐

[@Kkuts37]

NICE!!

[@jenicecurrie4278]

Do the top binding first. Then the sides. Much easier.

[@bdbusslowmotion]

Wow

[@Everythings_Adjustable]

Good for forging 👍 😁

[@CraftsWithEllen]

That too ;)

[@ThedwarfsizedWorkshop]

Great project, Ellen. I expect the next tutorial to be about cookies... 😁

[@CraftsWithEllen]

Haha, I'll see what I can do ;)

[@AndyBirkeyMaker]

Ha! YES!

[@MichaelKieweg]

Well done! Now I think, I should do my own padded jacket to wear under the chainmail while swordfighting. And I never sewed a stitch in my life.....

[@CraftsWithEllen]

YES!

[@twopluseight]

Unfortunately, after I sewed them together, they were too small and had to throw everything out. I will try again after I buy more batting. Very frustrating!!

[@jyotithakur4581]

You are so sweett
