How Do You Make Mittens Out Of Felt Material?
Using your own hands for your pattern, or those of your family and friends, you can make custom-fitted mittens from felt material. This simple sewing project can be completed very quickly, even for someone new to sewing. The completed felt mittens can be embellished with trims, appliques, buttons and beads. They make thoughtful Christmas gifts for teachers, friends and family, and pairs of mittens can also be used as favors at a child’s birthday party. Lay a piece of notepaper on your work table. Center your hand on the paper with your fingers together and the thumb sticking out. Trace around your hand and 2 inches past your wrist using a pencil. The width below the bottom of the hand should be the same as the bottom of the hand. This will ensure that the mitten will fit over the widest portion of the hand. Remove your hand and trace around the drawn shape again, enlarging it 1inch. Cut out the shape for your mitten pattern. Place two layers of felt on your work table and pin your mitt
