Here's a simple tutorial to guide you through making your heart-shaped oven mittens:

Materials Needed:

Steps:

Step 1: Prepare the Materials

Gather all your materials and wash and iron your fabrics if necessary. Make sure to choose a fabric that can withstand heat.

Step 2: Prepare the Pattens

Download the Pattern and print A4 or letter paper with the actual or 100% size.

Here is a small tutorial on how to print and cut your patterns.

Step 3: Cut Fabric Pieces

Place the heart template onto your heat-resistant fabric and cut out two heart shapes. Repeat the process with the coordinating fabric for the lining and the insulating batting. You should have two pieces of heat-resistant fabric, two pieces of lining fabric, and two pieces of insulating batting. For the wing sides, you need to use the pattern other side or use the wrong side of the fabrics.

Step 4: Layer the Fabric and prepare the wings

First, take the wings and put the insulated batting between the lining and fabric for each side, optionally quilted, place the bias tape and sew.

Quilt the insulated batting and fabric.

Place the wings on each side of the lining (right side up), and place quilted outside part facing down.

Make sure the layers are aligned and pin them in place.

Step 5: Sew Around the Heart

Using a 1/2 inch seam allowance, sew around the edge of the heart shape, leaving a small opening (about 3 inches) on one side for turning.

Step 6: Clip Curves and Turn Inside Out

Clip small notches around the curves of the heart to help it lay flat when turned inside out. Turn the heart inside out through the opening.

Step 7: Add a Hanging Loop (Optional)

Cut a small strip of fabric, fold it in half, and attach it to the top of the heart as a hanging loop. Sew it securely between the layers.

Step 8: Close the Opening

Fold in the edges of the opening and sew it closed with a small, discreet stitch.

Step 9: Finish

Press the oven mitt to give it a neat finish. Your heart-shaped oven mittens are ready for use!
