Another Oven Mitt

Making an oven mitt from the leftovers.

Blue oven mitt with a white bottom edge and a loop on the side

The other day, I was sorting through my box of shame. The plastic bin where unfinished projects go to die. I found half of an oven mitt that I had apparently started, one mouth piece and the quilted fabric that was supposed to be the other half. So I decided to put it together.

Similar to my other mitts, it’s a sock puppet style, rather than a claw. I’m using it blue side out, with the cacti as the lining. However, I decided to make a loop at the yellow side too, since I recently had to ‘inside out’ one of my other mitts because I burnt the cotton off it. That one now has an improvised loop to get it on my hook. Adding an extra loop during the sewing together doesn’t take much extra thought and might be useful in the future.

I’m very happy with my new mitt. I keep misplacing the other two, so a third one should hopefully leave me even less likely to burn myself!
