Homemade Oven Mitt

Here are the Supplies You Need

How do I Make an Oven Mitt Heat Proof?

There is an insulated lining called Insul~Bright (affiliate link) that works great for this DIY oven mitt. Polyester fibers are needled through a reflective metalized polyester film. The material is breathable and won’t break down with washing. The polyester fibers resist conduction while the reflective metalized polyester film reflects radiant energy, hot and cold, back to its source. Insul~Bright is not recommended for microwave use.

How to Make an Oven MItt

Cut out your pieces or cut out 9X14 rectangles

Tip

I found it easiest to cut the fabric and linings into a rectangle 9 X14, sandwich them together and then machine stitch them together. 

You can use any design.  I just simply stitched straight lines. Once you are finished, cut out your pattern.  Doing it this way allowed me to work quicker since I didn’t have to fuss with keeping all 3 pieces perfectly lined up while I stitched them together.

UpdateD Sewing method

Please visit this tutorial for an alternative way on how to sew oven mitts. This has become my favorite way to put the quilted oven mitts together and is I think the easiest method. Sewing around the template before cutting is key. Be sure to check it out.

Place the two quilted pieces right sides together.

You may place a fabric loop 2 inches up from the bottom in the side seam.

How to Make the Loop (optional)

I made loop by cutting a rectangle piece of fabric 3″ X 4″. Fold the piece in half lengthwise, press. Open up and fold each edge to the middle, press. Fold in half, press. Stitch along both sides. Fold the loop and place in between the mitt pieces close to the bottom. If you are using the alternative sewing method from above you will have to eyeball where it goes in between the layer.

Sew around mitt 1/4 inch from the edge.  Trim and clip seams (especially between thumb and first finger).  Sometimes I get a nicer look if I sew a really tight curve instead of pivoting between the thumb and first finger–it is a tricky spot.  Zig zag, overcast, or cut the raw edges with pinking shears to finish seams.

Turn right side out and apply seam binding around the bottom edge to finish.  My plan was to use the HO HO HO I used for the lining and make my own binding, however the words were upside down and said OH OH OH (not what I was going for). Next time I am thinking some trim would really make it extra special.

  1. Do we need to use Warm and Natural as well? Other tutorials as well as the Insul Brite packaging say to use another layer. Have you been burned with 3 layers?

  6. Awesome design! I have the perfect fabric to make this for gifts and fundraising for our womens’ church group. I will make a set to match an apron I am making. Thank you so much!

  7. Thanks for the pattern – I’m a lazy crafter and would rather find a pattern than make my own! I’ve made this mitt to go along with a 2 sided apron and it makes a terrific gift.

    Tip 1 – definitely cut out and quilt as a rectangle before cutting the mitt + sewing – it makes all the difference.

    Tip 2 – before pinning the 2 fabrics and insulation together, mark your sewing lines, then pin and sew. I was using pretty “loud” fabrics so I just used a white colored pencil on the inside fabric since the dissolving kind wasn’t dark enough for me to see. Marking the one fabric was a lot easier than when it was padded.

  8. oh.. thanks so much for the oven mitt tutorial. i went to Joann’s today to collect what I need to make this oven mitt. i m so excited to make a lot for holiday gifts. thank you thank you!

  9. For Christmas gifts this year I have been making aprons for friends and family- and just decided they all needed a nice oven mitt to go with the gift. I have looked everywhere to buy cute oven mitts and they just arent out there. So I just happened to start searching the internet to find info on how to make them and found your site. This sounds easier than I expected, and cannot wait to try it out. And I love the idea of stacking the material to quilt before cutting out the shape. Thank you!

  10. I totally just traced this off my computer screen…that’s what a desperation to sew and a lack of ink will make you do! lol

  11. Funny thing…I bought some Insul-Bright at Joann’s today using a 50% off coupon. I was going to make potholders but oven mitts are actually more what I wanted! Thank you for the tutorial…I’m bookmarking it!

  12. Thank you for this pattern of the oven mitt. I have been trying to find one for the longest time. Thanks a million times
