Quilting through all layers - I am terrible with a pair of scissors and have since bought myself a cheap cutting mat and rotary cutter so am sure the next attempt will be much neater!
And, the final product. It is pretty rough, but ok for my first attempt at sewing something on my new machine that isn't a nappy, lol. I had some trouble with bunching which you can see around the thumb area, and the fit is very slim, even though I made the seam allowance smaller than on the pattern. This was my first attempt at using bias binding too - I really need to practice sewing straight lines! lol. All in all, not bad, but will try and be more patient with my next attempt.
Another oven mitt. This time I stuck to just one fabric, instead of trying to be all fancy. Got it done while both the kids had a nap over lunch, about an hour including cutting out time. Still not perfect and still have the bunching issues around the thumb.
Another go at the bias binding, getting there slowly . . .
