How to sew fleece mittens (free pattern)

[@georgettesledge6079]

Love this pattern everything thing is so simple,.I have such a hard time reading patterns, that's why i look to you tube

[@deborahburgett5878]

I am having the BEST FUN!! with your patterns! - I've made the hats and now at tackling mittens - haven't sewn in 30 years ... what a great way to get re-acquainted with my machine!!

[@blaiseporta7794]

Please explain how to put it together. I don't know what to do with the thumb piece.

[@patriciacase318]

Having trouble downloading pattern. Please help

[@sallyoakes7709]

so .... do we add elastic to the lining? It looks like not - and it might feel uncomfortable. A group I'm in is making warm things for people experiencing homelessness. Outreach workers can give them to folks living outdoors as a way to establish a connection and then connect them to resources and appropriate apartments. It's called "Housing First" and bypasses obstacles to first establish safety. Getting ID, military records, medical records, etc don't have to be navigated before establishing a subsidy or a lease. But I digress. I've got a couple fleece blankets I wasn't using and some t-shirts that I don't wear any more and fleece for the outers, t-shirts for the lining! Find a local organization where you live and see if you might do the same. I used to be the food director for one such non-profit, so I learned a lot from co-workers and food clients & guests.

i can't seem to fine the printable pattern

[@danawalker9417]

I wish there was a better angle of when the lining and mitten are sewn together. I can't tell if the mitten is sewn on top of the lining leaving a gap or if you are putting the lining inside the mitten before sewing it and leaving a gap.

Same here total confusion on getting them together

Take a close up video go slow

[@jewelstuck2773]

Absolutely the best mittens ever! I made the men's for my boyfriend and her loves them! Making the women's for myself!! Thank you so so so much!

How can I open the pattern with Adobe PDF?

[@aviaqharper4756]

Can you please send me the link for the printable pattern for the mitts, I'd appreciate it:)

[@gran2585]

I really enjoyed the video and so subscribed and went to your website to download the instructions for the mittens. I cannot find the pdf to download. Everything takes me to the written instructions or your video but nothing I click on gives me the pattern. What am I doing wrong? I would really like the pattern. Thanks,

[@FleeceFun]

Hi Pat sorry you're having trouble. Scroll down to the bottom of the page where it says "Download the pattern here" below there are texts links in pink for each of the files.

[@gran2585]

Fleece Fun Thank you so much for your quick reply. I just tried your instructions and was able to print the pattern. Looking forward to making them now. And, thank you for the video and the sewing helps. So good for those of us who are very visual learners!!

[@nancyiott6234]

why is that little tip on the thumb side? The pieces would go together better with just a slight arch all the way across, wouldn't they?

[@cynthiagrindy9141]

Thank you! This is very Helpful!

[@carlatolentino7716]

I’m stuck!😟 I don’t know how to do it 😭

[@FleeceFun]

Where are you stuck?

[@carlatolentino7716]

@@FleeceFun I’m new at sewing. I cut all the kids patterns. Am I suppose to cut lining for it as well?

[@blaiseporta7794]

Do I spread the thumb flaps? Does the thumb piece go between the front and back? I keep trying and trying. I don't want to give up. I really want to do this.

[@rosemack484]

i can not find to actual pattern , I've clicked all over the website . I'm discouraged

[@pbrown2410]

Thank you for such a talented pattern. They came out beautiful!

[@blaiseporta7794]

I love these mittens 🥰 ! 🙃! I have finished and they are ready to wear! Of course I had to do one more "bone head" thing. When I sewed the wrist together and was ready to put the whole thing together, the thumbs were opposite. Just to keep me humble👼 🎅❄🛷⛷thank you again and Merry Christmas! Stay healthy

[@carlatolentino7716]

So far I have used a few of your different patterns from your channel. I have cut 7 pairs of mittens tomorrow I will sew them.

[@Sam-79-b3o]

I know I’m hard of hearing but do all the mitten sizes you posted have an half inch seam allowance? I sewed the small mittens with a half inch seam and the thumb is way to narrow. Thanks

[@simplyme549]

Thank you...I found your channel today looking for fleece hats...i have watched a few gonna try to make some hats and mittens...again thank you...

[@13calama]

Do I need 1/3 yard for the lining and 1/3 yard for the outside or is it 1/3 yard total?

[@alicestaniford8177]

The pattern links on your site seem to be broken? I tried to get the pattern but it’s not there

[@tbuenros]

I'm having trouble understanding if you sew the top and bottom thumb together with a .5 inch seam, how does the external material attach evenly to that when no seams were made on the external material?

[@blaiseporta7794]

I GOT IT !!!! praise God!! Wow! I'm so happy!!🙏🙂hooray!! Thank you so very much!! I couldn't have done it without your help!! Now it all makes sense! I did have the thumb pieces wrong. I started from the beginning. I took everything apart & watched the video again . Success!

[@FleeceFun]

Yay!!!! I was so worried that I failed. Cheers to you for not giving up!!!

[@SirAlex0014]

This looks like a nice pattern! Can one make this pattern without the lining?

[@tahneeglenn7605]

You are wonderful and I appreciate how simple you make this.

[@FleeceFun]

Thanks Tahnee!

[@tahneeglenn7605]

your instructions are perfect. I am left handed, so some reason every mitten I made was for the left hand. They were nice though. :-)

[@marionbutler5917]

Can't find the link to print out the mitten pattern.

[@blaiseporta7794]

Why can't I get this. No matter what I do. If you would please explain how to set the thumb onto the mitten. I sewed the thumb a from the bottom then across to the other side like the red marker showed. Yikes! Please

[@FleeceFun]

Ok the mitten is 3 pieces. The first step is to make the side that has the thumb. Line up the two thumb pieces, sew around the thumb and then Accross the mitten. This will then make Half of the mitten with the thumb piece.

[@blaiseporta7794]

@@FleeceFun okay then what do I do? I can't understand how to get my thumb into the mitten thumb. I feel like such a bone head. Do I put 1mitten piece then the thumb piece then the other mitten piece together and sew around? I don't know what to do with the 2 bottom parts of the thumb piece. If I leave them together I can't get my hand in?? Please forgive me for being such a bone head. I'm embarrassed. I thank you for your patience and help.

[@FleeceFun]

@@blaiseporta7794 ok. The two thumb pieces you sew together complete thumb - They form half of the mitten ( the side that is the inside (palm) of the hand. You then take this half and sew it to the other large rounded piece you have cut out. Lay the piece flat out on the surface so the thumb is on top, the rounded piece points up and the bottom ( the cuff) points down. Also you might consider looking at the written tutorial to help you.

[@blaiseporta7794]

I really hope you see my post. I just noticed that most of the comments are from a year ago . Please help me!🥺 I keep trying and trying to put all the pieces into a mitten and I just can't figure out how

[@FleeceFun]

Hi I need more specifics on what the issue is.

[@blaiseporta7794]

@@FleeceFun I don't know how to lay the pieces together. The front back and thumb . I have 3 pieces and I just can't figure out how to put the thumb piece into the front and back. I seriously tried for hours. I just don't get it. Nothing I tried works. I'm going crazy

[@FleeceFun]

@@blaiseporta7794 lay the two thumb pieces together - the two thumbs one on top of the other - Make sure that the thumb is on the right side of BOTH pieces. . They line up - the rest of the curved part fits together - but won't line up when laying flat - you just need to pin it and sew it together. But I say this with all the LOVE in the world if you're not getting it from the video or the written tutorial maybe this pattern isn't for you and you need a simpler one that won't confuse you. :(

[@blaiseporta7794]

@@FleeceFun thank you very much. I'm trying to do it now. I'm not a very experienced sewer.

where's the pattern?

At the bottom of the webpage where it says download the pattern here.

Is there a way to get a copy of the pattern without having to sign up for a 'free' account that asks for my credit card??

Extremely frustrating. Spent half an hour on the site looking for the adult pattern and never found it. I would prefer to pay for the pattern than lose 80% of my screen to advertising. I won't be back.

[@FleeceFun]

Hi Marie I’m sorry you feel frustrated. The links are located at the end of the post under the section “download the pattern below”. They are text links with the size listed. While I can see that ads are not always pleasant the truth is that when given the choice between dealing with advertising vs paying most people won’t pull out their wallets. This is the model that I have chosen for my business and understand that it not everyone’s cup of tea.

Fleece has no ability to stop wind whatsoever. To actually make them warm, a windproof or Goretex shell should be on the outside and fleece should be inside. These are for looks, not for actual warmth.
