Just puttering - Oven Mitt

So after the potholder -

I tried to make a new oven mitt -

Using an old mitt as a general guide -

And the pattern on the Insul-Brite(R) package - ;))

But the instructions on the package didn’t specify -
Whether the shiny side should face the inside -
Next to my hand -

Or face the outside -
Next to the HOT whatever it was that I wanted to pick up - ;))

SO -

I found an updated pattern on their website - HERE -

The newer version of the pattern states -

The shiny side of your Insul-Brite should face the hot or cold item allowing it to reflect the energy back to its source. The polyester protects your hands, while the cotton batting absorbs condensation.

Which made sense to me -

AND answered my question - ;))

I took a fat quarter and cut out the pieces -
According to the pattern -

And layered them like so -
From bottom to top -

Lining - right side down/wrong side up
Warm & Natural batting
Insul-Bright - shiny side up
Cover fabric - fat quarter - right side up

Followed the directions -

And got this - ;))

Not bad -

Might even make some more someday - ;))



Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew -
