Here’s another little something I pulled out of the craft room. I think I got the kit for 6 of these mittens at the AQS Quilt Show in March, so it has not been sitting around too long. The kit came with everything I needed except, oddly enough, a needle. I like embroidering designs on felt because the fabric seems to encourage a more folk-art style, which means I don’t worry as much about things like even stitches. I had forgotten how much fun it can be to work with a needle and thread, and a small project like this lets you get a sense of accomplishment in no time.
The stitching got completed on the body of the mitten for 3 of the 6. I still need to cut out and attach some cuffs, embellish those, and then stitch the front to the back. It was a rainy day here, and that lent itself to sitting down with some needlework and the obligatory cat on my lap.
Your mittens came out great! It was raining here in Albany too. Here’s to the nice day that we are both supposed to have today!
Thanks! A rainy day once in a while makes me feel less guilty about working of crafts.
Absolutely 🙂
Love them my favourite is the white one. I like stitching on felt too, so effective.
The white one pops the most, doesn’t it? I need to work on felt more often. I do enjoy it.
So cute, my favorite is the snowflake 🙂
I’m thinking of using that snowflake design on some other things. It’s simple enough to replicate.
Well, I just like them all! 🙂 A productive rainy day too!
Thanks! My morning was more of the wandering about not getting anything finished kind, so I finally gave in and sat down to sew.
Those are super cute. I just might have to trace out a few for my Daughter to decorate.
I could scan the patterns in and send them to you if you would like.
Thank you but I’m thinking that cookie cutters will work just fine she’s going to need something to stay busy with next week.
