what you will need:
1 old winter sweater
1 piece of paper to trace your hand
sewing machine,scissors, thread
step 1
trace your hand.
step 2
lay sweater sleeve on flat surface. pin paper hand so that your sleeve wrist is un cut and will become the wrist of your mitten. cut out. repeat on the oposite sleeve. right and left really dosent apply.
step 3
reverse it so it is inside out.
step 4
sew, Now i tried this two ways. first i tried a tight zig zag , this curled the mitten. it was still fine but didn't look the best. then i tried a short length straight stitch and it did seem to work better. it just layed better. if you have a serger, i don't, you could try that.
the one on the left is the zig zag one, see what i mean.
SO THATS IT. YOU CANT HAVE TO MANY MITTENS, EXSPECIALLY WITH KIDS LOOSING THEM EVERY OTHER DAY. PLAY AROUND WITH IT AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS.
