I really enjoyed this video. It would help a bit to show a little more clearly how the three pieces go together. Thank you.
Wonderful project for my older grandchildren thank you
Very thorough tutorial! Nicely done. Your little pocket is adorbs! The only thing that I do differently with my mittens is that I stitch everything a second time by just going right over the top of the first stitches that I sew. That way the seams are really reinforced to prevent any kind of blowout from wear and tear. I also sew on my own handmade ceramic buttons on the cuff for extra pizazz. I made my own mitten pattern several years ago and I made it extra big because I like really roomy mittens. Thank you for sharing your nifty tutorial!
How do you prevent the lining from pulling out when you're removing the mittens?
Great tutorial love the colors. Can I use velour sweater fabric?
Hi!! Love the tutorial! I tried sewing this project with the download and the largest/green size are big enough for a 8 or 9 year old child. Where are the adult sizes or what did I do wrong? I am in the process of trying to enlarge pattern. Help?
What kind of sewing machine do you use? Mine will not sew through two layers of felted sweaters, and I have a so-called adjustable presser foot. Do you have a heavy-duty machine?
Pattern is cool, the concept is great… accept, if you have to buy sweaters, do it in the summer time.. don't buy them in the winter.. because people do need the sweater to keep warm in winter time….. Also, would it kill people to do matching mittens, I mean a mitten with three or four different colors looks tacky to me.. just think if it is worth doing..make them pretty.. not junky
This pattern really works!
Make sure the length of the mitten is 10 5/8" as her pattern indicates.
they should re do the video at a much slower pace
This video was way too fast! it did not show how to put the pieces together slow enough to follow along.

Fantastic!!!! Thank-You for this Wonderful Video. I was very helpful.
GREAT tutorial!!! Thank you so much! I just made a pair of mittens for my daughter… I actually used a "mini tree skirt" from Target – vs. an old sweater because the pattern was adorable and matched my daughter's winter jacket perfectly, and then used an old very soft sweater for the lining. Yay! less than $5.00 total!

Love these. How do I get the pattern?
How do you lay out the pattern do you turn it upside down to get the right mittem?
