Sewing

I am determined to make all the things this year that fell by the wayside last year. These are two of them, a dish mat and new oven mitts.The oven mitts were a new experience for both me and the sewing machine, I have never worked with that insulation material before. I used a jeans needle and Lily did just fine. I need to work a bit more on getting the thumbs a little bigger and the top not at quite such a sharp angle. But for now they will do.

Both are free patterns/tutorials and can be found here:   Dish Mat  Oven Mitt
