These oven mitts would make a great gift or stocking stuffer. Once you get the hang of it I bet you will make tons of these. They don't take long at all and I encourage you to give the random stitching lines a go! It's fun, freeing and low stress. No need for perfection in this project. Even with minor mistakes it will be fully functional and sure to be a hit in any kitchen.

Thanks for watching!

You just taught a 66 year old lady how to make oven mitts. Your Mother must be so very proud of you. I know I am. I love your videos and you are such a sweet person with compassion in your heart. Thank you for your time and willingness to teach us new things. Never stop sewing, it is a gift that keeps going. God Bless you hun.

for the life of me I can't understand why there are only 266 comments. I purchased the insulated fabric to make lunch boxes for Christmas and had no idea what to do with the left over insulated fabric. Till I realized there was a pattern on the back of the package and I just knew there was a tutorial for one. I searched a couple of patterns til I came across the CraftyGemini. As soon as I heard her voice I knew this was going to be a precise and doable tutorial. I made one of her patterns before and she knocked this out of the park again.

Thank you for sharing which way the batting should be used. I watched at least half a dozen tutorials, not one gave the information.

I've been trying to make oven mitts for my son, but every site I went to wasn't working out because the written instructions were strange. So, I decided to go to YouTube, and, low and behold, I found you. Needless to say, your instructions are right on target. As a matter of fact, I just finished two mitts for him, and they fit perfectly. He is super happy. By the way, he's 40 years old, and I live with him and my daughter-in-law. Keep up the good work, and I'll be sure to use your site for further items.

Im 70 and i learned something new! What? How EASY it is! ❤❤❤ Thank you!!

So very glad I found this video. It shows step - by - step how to make a nice oven mit. Some videos are too quick on their instructions, or, they have a bit of annoying music instead of the person's actual voice. Those videos are good when the person making the video doesn't speak your native tongue, but, it's nice to actually hear someone speaking the instructions. TY for sharing this video with us.

Vanessa, I have been quietly following this channel for so long. I couldn’t sew back then but have learned from you and your videos since day one. Way back to your tiny room. I remember the quilts on the wall! Im proud to see you blossom so well, and have so many inspired people behind you. Merry & happy from the beautiful Cherokee hills in rural Oklahoma. I go other places but always end up back here! Take care, Trish ❤️

I just learned how to sew aprons. Now I wanted to make matching oven mitts. Thank you for this! I will be trying.

I’ve used this a bunch of times. You’ve really figured out mitts!

I'm 74 and followed your tutorial for an oven mitt. It turned out great! Thank you ❤️

Thank you! I watched your video Wednesday afternoon, went to the fabric store that night and completed 3 sets of oven mitts by Thursday afternoon and the fourth set by bedtime on Thursday. I made them for my kids Teacher Christmas gifts and they loved them. I'm glad I have some extra fabric to make a few more. This was my first experience at quilting.

To anyone who is trying this out: adding cotton batting will make it harder to turn inside out once you're done stitching!
Speaking as someone who decided to add 2 later of cotton batting and spent 30 mins flipping the stiffest mitt inside out 😭

Thanks Vanessa! This is my go-to video for this shape oven mitts. Your videos are so well articulated without any wasted time. Just right!

[juliegill]

You are a great teacher! How fun is this? I’m going to make some for my daughters for Valentine’s Day. Thank you so much for your time and effort and expertise!

Love it.. Ordered the cute iron from Amazon and Hubby is making the mini ironing board insert for me right now.

[pmadalone]

Thank you, Vanessa, for this wonderfully simple tutorial! I just finished two oven mitts for my DIL for Christmas. This was my first attempt at oven mitts, although I've made several of your patterns over the years. These were easy-peasy and I'm so grateful for your willingness to share your talents. You are an excellent instructor!

[sherylevans]

I watch most of your videos. Very informative. Your oven mitts are cute but you need to include a couple of layers of cotton batting to them so you followers won't burn their fingers. The insulbrite is necessary but it should be behind the 2 layers of 1oo% cotton batting. In other words lining, insulbrite, cotton batting & outside fabric. :)

I made these the other day and they are so easy to make. Thanks for the free pattern. My sister in law loves them.

[jureeratintiyod]
