So Sew Something!

I had every intention of making these as Christmas presents, but, alas, I did not get around to.  BUT, thanks to my hairbrained idea to make something EVERY day, I have managed to finally make these darling Oven Mits & Potholders.  Read on for the How-To and for details on my GIVEAWAY!

I started with these very plain mits and potholders that I found at Ikea.  Mits: $1 each, potholders: $0.50 each.

For supplies, I used scrap fabric from last year’s Easter dress, two buttons I found in my stash ($1 each), needle and thread.  For the ruffle version, you will need a sewing machine.  If you don’t know how to sew…I know someone who can help you with that!

For the button pair, I just chose where I wanted the button and sewed it on.  It took me less than 5 minutes.  Awesome.

For the Ruffled pair, I made the ruffles, attached them with my machine and then hand sewed a covered button in the center.  This pair took about 15 minutes.

I am just loving these little sets….perfect for yourself, hostess gifts, housewarming gifts, birthdays, weddings, etc.  And SO SO SO ridiculously CHEAP…oh, I am salivating here.  I gotta get myself in the kitchen but what to make?  I’ve already made something today!

AND NOW FOR THE BIG ANNOUNCEMENT….

I”m going to do a GIVEAWAY this week.  Leave me a comment about something that you are making This Week.  I will randomly choose a winner on Friday from all the comments.  The winner can pick the Four Leaf Clover Ring OR either oven set!  Happy DIYing!
