DIY Oven Mitt … Anthropologie Style!

Happy Monday, everyone!  It’s Katie again from View From The Fridge, and I’m back today with an easy DIY project … a DIY Oven Mitt!

How to make a pipe trim Oven Mitt .

This oven mitt is actually inspired by one of my favorite stores … Anthropologie!  I’ve done several Anthropologie Knock Off projects in the past, but this week I’m participating in ‘Anthro Knock Off WEEK’ with four other very talented bloggers.  Each day (for 6 days), we’re each sharing a knock off project for a total of 30 projects this week!  

Yesterday, I shared a matching Anthro Knock Off Apron to this oven mitt over on my blog:

Anthro inspired Tea and Crumpets Apron

MATCHING APRON

 Today, I’m here sharing the simple tutorial to create this pipe trimmed hot pad holder!

SUPPLIES

  • 1/3 of a yard of fabric of your choice  (I used this fabric – Remix Grey Circles by Ann Kelle)
  • 1/3 yard Insul-Bright (basically, insulated batting … sold in the fabric store near the interfacing)
  • 1/3 yard batting
  • Package of Double Fold Bias Tape

STEPS

STEP 1:  CUT FABRIC (this step probably takes the longest of all …)

    • Out of Fabric:  Cut four 10″ diameter circles (or about 10″ … I used a small plate for a template)
      • Cut two of these circles in half (easiest to fold in half and cut along crease)
    • Out of Batting:  Cut three 10″ diameter circles
      • Cut ONE of these circles in half
    • Out of Insul-Bright:  Cut two 10″ diameter circles
      • Cut ONE of these circles in half
SEW AN OVEN MITT

FABRIC PIECES CUTFor the back piece of the Oven Mitt (the full circle), layer the circles as follows:

 STEP 2:  MAKE THREE FABRIC ‘SANDWICHES’

  • For the back of oven mitt (the full circle), layer in pieces from top to bottom in the following way:
    • Fabric, right side UP
    • batting
    • Insul-Bright
    • batting
    • Fabric, right side DOWN
OVEN MITT BACK SANDWICH

  • For the two front pieces, layer from top to bottom in the following way:
    • Fabric piece right side UP
    • batting
    • Insul-Bright
    • Fabric piece right side DOWN
OVEN MITT FRONT SANDWICHES

STEP 3:  SEW EACH FABRIC SANDWICH TOGETHER ALONG OUTER EDGES

  • For the two front pieces (half circles), first cut 3/4″ – 1″ off the straight edge of the ‘sandwich’
  • Pin each sandwich together
  • Sew along all outer edges (~roughly 1/4″ seam allowance)
  • Trim excess fabric outside of seam
BACK PANEL 'SANDWICH' SEWN TOGETHER

BACK PANEL ‘SANDWICH’ SEWN TOGETHER (DO THIS TO THE FRONT TWO PANELS, TOO) THEN TRIM EDGES

STEP 4:  QUILT EACH PIECE

  • Quilt each piece by sewing diagonal lines across sandwich about 1.5″ apart .  You can be as exact as you like (with measured out lines) or as inexact as you like (eyeball where each line needs to be).  The ladder was my method of choice.
QUILT EACH PIECE BY SEWING DIAGONAL LINES ACROSS FACE (IN BOTH DIRECTIONS)

QUILT EACH PIECE BY SEWING DIAGONAL LINES ACROSS FACE (IN BOTH DIRECTIONS)

STEP 5:  ADD BIAS TAPE TO STRAIGHT EDGES OF FRONT PIECES

  • I happily discovered that sewing double fold bias tape onto these pieces was incredibly easy!!  I followed this great tutorial from the Angry Chicken Blog (that name makes me laugh every time…).  She walks you through the process with an easy to follow video. 
  • Below are some pictures of the process:
OPEN UP BIAS TAPE AND SEW ALONG EDGE AS SHOWN

FOLD THE BIAS TAPE OVER THE EDGE, PIN IN PLACE, THEN SEW ANOTHER SEAM RIGHT OVER THE TOP

FOLD THE BIAS TAPE OVER THE EDGE, PIN IN PLACE, THEN SEW ANOTHER SEAM RIGHT OVER THE TOP

STEP 6:  SEW ALL THREE PIECES TOGETHER

SEW FRONT PIECES TO BACK PIECE

SEW FRONT PIECES TO BACK PIECE

STEP 7:  SEW BIAS TAPE AROUND OUTER EDGE

  • Cut a short piece of the bias tape to create a loop at the top.  Pin the loop facing into the center of the mitt as shown
  • Carefully pin bias tape all around outer edge going right over your loop
  • Sew in place.
  • Fold bias tape over edge, fold loop UP
  • Sew around outer edge again
PIN LOOP AT TOP OF MITT, FACING INTO CENTER. PIN BIAS TAPE AROUND OUTER EDGE

PIN LOOP AT TOP OF MITT, FACING INTO CENTER. PIN BIAS TAPE AROUND OUTER EDGE

SEW YOUR BIAS TAPE ON, TRIM ENDS OF LOOP

SEW YOUR BIAS TAPE ON, TRIM ENDS OF LOOP

FOLD BIAS TAPE OVER EDGE. FOLD LOOP UP, AND SEW AROUND OUTER EDGE

FOLD BIAS TAPE OVER EDGE. FOLD LOOP UP, AND SEW AROUND OUTER EDGE

 THAT’S IT … OVEN MITT = COMPLETE!!

So …. How do you think it compares to the Anthro version?

Anthropologie Inspired Oven Mitt

 

These oven mitts could be customized to any decor and would make a FANTASTIC Mother’s Day gift for a mom that loves to cook (or just loves cute things hanging around in her kitchen)!!  

Thanks again to Ang for having me here today!  I hope this inspired some creativity in you!  If you get a chance, I’d love for you to stop by, say ‘hello’, and see what other Anthro Knock Off Projects we’re up to this week.

Until next time …

Happy Crafting!

    This looks like a great project – I’m not a sewing person though.

    I love this so much! My oven mitts are getting ragged and worn — definitely time for some new ones, but I can never find just the right patterns to go with our aesthetic. You’ve inspired me to make my own!

      HI Marlynn! It really is simple and pretty quick to make your own. And … they work great (sort of key, I guess). Thanks for the comment! Have a great week!

    Lovely! I’m not a gifted person when it comes to sewing bias tape. Yours is perfect! I love the fabric you used – so fun with the yellow trim. What a great knock-off!
    Blessings,

    Love this tutorial! I’m a beginner sewer and once you added the bias tape I got a bit lost. Can I do this without the bias tape? Or is it necessary?
