Christmas Mitten Ornament

I decided to make these mitten ornaments in sets of two, and attach the hanging ribbon to one on each side - so much cuteness! First, sit back and relax - see the easy steps in this quick slideshow so you get an idea how it goes: If you prefer a step-by-step photo tutorial, scroll down.

Supplies:

two scraps of red fabric per one mitten
a bit of a neutral solid in white or cream for cuff (cca 2 by 4 inch for the smallest mitten)
7" - 10" embroidery thread or twine for hanging
poly-fill (get one small pack for the entire Homemade Holidays Bundle)
matching thread, sewing machine, scissors, needle, iron

Steps

Mitten Ornament - Step 1

Cut two of each pattern pieces: the main piece and the cuff piece. You'll find both mitten pattern pieces in three sizes in the FREE Homemade Christmas Patterns Bundle HERE in the shop - no code required.

Mitten Ornament - Step 2

Place the main piece (Piece 1) and the cuff (Piece 2) right sides together and sew them together using a ¼" (7 mm) seam allowance:

Mitten Ornament - Step 3

Now we'll make sure the cuff on the mitten ornament 'sits' nicely when all sewn up: unfold the cuff from the main part just a bit, not pulling it all the way away from the main piece but leaving approximately a third of the piece back. Do this with both pieces of the mitten ornament. Easier to show than describe, so check out the pic here:

Mitten Ornament - Step 4

Place the pieces right sides together. It makes it easier if you press. It should look like this from the side:

Mitten Ornament - Step 5

Pin and stitch around, starting and ending at the cuff, using a ¼" (7 mm) seam allowance. See where the arrows are pointing:

Mitten Ornament - Step 6

Notch and trim the seam allowance for a nicer finish. Make sure not to snip into the seam.

Mitten Ornament - Step 7

Turn right-side-out and add some poly-fill. Don't stuff it too much, less is more. The ornament should be fluffy and not stiff. The cuff should not be filled at all. Once you've added poly-fill, tuck ⅜" (1cm) of the cuff fabric towards the inside to create a clean edge. See the photos:

Mitten Ornament - Step 8

Once you have both of the mittens finished, it's time to add the twine or embroidery floss to connect them and make them easy to hang on the Christmas tree. Stitch the twine to the inside of the mitten cuff, then stitch the hole closed.

Bonus tip: I'd usually tie a knot on one end of the twine and stick the threaded needle through it, then make a firm loop to secure. Now with the twine firmly attached to the sewing thread, I start sewing the turning hole closed. This way, the twine won't be torn off even if kids pull really hard on the ornament.

Done and ready for gift-giving and holiday home decorating!
