I smell cinnamon, berries, clove, peppermint, buttery cookies, fruit cakes, gingerbread, and roasted turkey….. yum yum!!! Can you smell them too?

You may adapt the tutorial to make oven mitts to suit other festive, just go by color theme and prints, develop from the basic and you will be able to create lots of mitts to sew as gifts too. Please note that my oven mitt sewing pattern could be a little smaller for you since I have a small hand as an Asian lady, please print out the pattern, check the size, and adjust the size accordingly if necessary. Otherwise, you can trace the pattern from your favorite oven mitt. The quilted oven mitt is thick, so give more allowance for the size of the pattern too.

Just now, I was talking to a friend of mine about how my parents used to celebrate Christmas during my childhood… it sure is a piece of great memory to keep. Read more on how Asian celebrate Christmas in Asia. I always wanted to give great memories for my kids to keep and I hope all my crafts will help me to achieve this mission.

Merry Christmas and happy sewing!

MORE DETAILS ON HOW TO SEW QUILTED OVEN MITTS

  1. quilted oven mitta. Click to get the pdf template for oven mitts or you can draw your own oven mitt from your existing oven mitt.

    b. Print out the pattern and check the oven mitt size by putting your palm onto the pattern. Enlarge it if you need to make it bigger as the template given is for Asian Ladies.

    c. Cut the paper pattern and set it aside.


  2. 9-patch quilt blockPiece up some 9 patch quilt blocks, tutorial here, and cut some fabrics the same size as the 9-patch square.

    I am using 9 pieces of 9-patch and 10 pieces of plain squares. If your mitten is bigger, please prepare more.
    *a = finished width of smaller square, 1″
    *A = finished width of bigger square = 3a = 3″


  3. sew oven mitts (1) Arrange the squares and quilt blocks into a double 9-patch quilt block, taking account of the 1/4″ seam allowance.

    (2) Place the mitten paper pattern on top of the assembly to check if it is big enough. Otherwise, add more patches to make up the size.

    (3) Patch up the squares by sewing them into rows, then sew them into 1 piece by row. Press flat with an iron.

    (4) Draw quilting lines on the patchwork.


  4. 9-patch quilt block(5) Put a white backing at the bottom, followed by the batting then place the patchwork on top of them. Pin them up.

    (6) Stitch in the ditch between the bigger squares, then sew diagonally in both directions of the squares.

    (7) Cut fabric, batting and backing white fabric, rectangle shape, about 2″ bigger than the mitten’s pattern. Draw 45° angle lines with an erasable fabric marker for quilting. Sandwich the batting between the fabrics.

    (8) Quilt with a walking foot and a space guide of 1″ to make a square-stitch in the diagonal direction.


  5. how to sew oven mittsTrace the oven mitt pattern onto the wrong side of the double 9-patch piece. (Depending on which side you want the double 9-patch quilt to show, flip the pattern according to your preferred side.)


  6. sew oven mittsa. Sew around the pattern except for the wrist portion.

    b. Trim away the extra fabric and leave 1/4″ seam allowance.

    c. Make a clip on the curve at the seam allowance between the valley of thumb and fingers. (This allows the curve to stretch and thus smooth out when you turn the mitt to the right side.)


  7. bind raw edgesBind the raw edges with twill tape, either hand stitch or machine sew to the seam lines.


  8. fabric loopTo make a hanging loop for the oven mitt:
    (1) Take a piece of stash fabric and cut it to 1 1/4″ wide and 5 1/2″ long.

    (2) Fold it into halve lengthwise, sew lengthwise with 1/4″ seam allowance.

    (3) Turn the tube right side out with the tube turning tool. Press flat along the seam line.


  9. sew oven mittsFold the tube into halve and pin it on the side of the oven mitten to become the hanging loop.


  10. sew oven mittsa. To make the binder for the wrist, cut a piece of fabric 2 1/2″ wide and about 12″ long (at least 1/2″ longer than the mitt’s wrist).

    b. Fold into half lengthwise, iron flat.


  11. sew oven mittsPin the binder with raw edges aligned. The ends meet at the side seam of the oven mitt; the opposite side of the hanging loop so that the seam is not so bulky. Pin.


  12. sew oven mittsa. Sew with 1/4″ allowance start from about 1 1/2″ from the binder end (black arrow) and finish off about the same length from the other binder end.

    b. Mark the side seam position of the binder and stitch the ends up (white arrow).

    c. Go back to the wrist and complete the sewing of the binder to the oven mitt.


  13. sew oven mittsFold the binder over to the inside of the oven mitt, and stitch the folded edge along the stitching line. (You may use machine stitch but I prefer hand stitch.)


  14. sew oven mittsTurn the oven mitt right side out, and smooth out the seam lines.


    The Christmas oven mitt is ready to serve some freshly baked cookies and cakes from the oven.

    Hmmm… I smell cinnamon, berries, clove, peppermint, buttery cookies, fruit cakes, gingerbread, roasted turkey….. yum yum!!!
