Father's Day: How-to Make a Homemade Oven Mitt

Perfect for foodies and dads who like cooking up a storm! Wearing something homemade when you’re feeding the family always feels extra special…

What you'll need:

• 0.5m of top fabric (we used Nouveau Heron!)
• 0.5m of lining fabric
• 0.5m of bias binding

Step 1.

Start by tracing around an old oven glove to get the shape and size right.

Step 2.

Choose your fabric. For this craft, we’ve chosen Angel’s Heron design. Fold your fabric in half, right sides together and place your pattern piece onto the folded fabric.

Step 3.

Cut out two oven glove pieces from the fabric. Then cut another two pieces in a lining fabric (we have used the same Heron fabric for a bit of luxury!).

Step 4.

Take some wadding and cut out another two oven glove pieces. Place one of the lining pieces down, then the wadding over the lining layer, making sure to match up the glove shape. Finally place the top fabric on top.

Step 5.

Using the straight stitch on your sewing machine, begin to top stitch along the lines of the pattern to create a quilted effect. You can quilt as much (or as little!) as you like.

Step 6.

Once you’re happy with the quilted effect, place the two pieces of your glove together (make sure right sides are facing each other), and stitch around the edge.

Step 7.

Turn your glove inside out so the seam is on the inside of your oven glove.

Step 8.

To finish off the bottom of your glove, stitch 25mm bias binding around the open edge.

Ready to be gifted to Dad, we put the oven glove, and noughts and crosses set into a wooden basket. No gift is complete without a sweet treat, so we added a miniature toolbox filled with all of his favourites... the perfect finishing touch!
