Stack the two quilted pieces on top of each other, right sides together.

Place pattern on top and draw around the pattern.  This is the stitching line.

Stitch. I reinforce the thumb area so I can trim and make a slit right up to the stitching line.

Cut. Clip curves where necessary.

Turn right side out.

Cut a contrasting piece of fabric 7″ X 15″ for the band. Iron piece in half lengthwise, then open and bring edges to the center and press again.

Line edge of binding up with bottom edge of the oven mitt, right sides together. Turn edge up and being sewing in the first ironed crease.

Stitch all the way around, folding end over when finished.

Fold binding down.

Fold in the other half of the binding. Stitch all the way around in the ditch between the two fabrics, making sure to catch the binding on the inside.

Stitch along the place where the binding overlaps with one straight stitch, or whip stitch it closed by hand.

Finished!

  1. I’ve been looking for a pattern and tutorial on an oven mitt. This is great. Thank you for sharing!

  2. Thanks for the clear cut tutorial. I have made some ofe these but they came out a bit small bequase I quilted them after cutting the mitts out. Now I know to quilt first. I had the same problem with a caserole carrier I cut out and have had a struggle making because the batting pushed the linning ot of the seam as I stitched up the seams. Now I know to trace the pattern on my fabric. Layer it all together Pin it thoroughly or quilt it and/or stitch around the pattern before cutting it out.

  3. I love the look of your oven mitt and you make it look so easy that I want to give your pattern a try! Thanks!

  8. I’m so glad you posted this! I had forgotten that I wanted to get my mom some new hot pads for Christmas. She’s still using some that she had when we were kids!
