DIY Sweater Mittens
Step 1: Getting Started
Difficulty: Easy
Materials:
Sweater
Scissors
Mitten Template
Sewing Machine or
Needle and Thread
Step 2: Craft Tutorial
Instructions:
Step 1: Turn your sweater inside out and place your hands or mittens template on the hemline of your sweater. Using the hemline for your mittens makes the sewing easier because the bottom already has a pretty finished hem.
Step 2: Mark off the area that you want to sew with chalk or a marker. You can also use a pair of mittens for a template and trace around if you need. Just keep in mind, it's better to make it a little bit too big because you can always take it in later. So measure twice and cut once!
Step 3: Once your mittens are cut- do a quick stitch around your mittens using your sewing machine. I would note that the chunkier your fabric- the bigger you will want your stitch when sewing with knits.
Once it is sewn- turn it inside out and it's done!
