Mittens!

Hello! This past weekend, I went Christmas shopping. One of the items on my list, though not for a Christmas gift, was a pair of mittens for my little Katie-bear so she could explore our "arctic" front yard without getting frostbite. Unfortunately, all the mittens I could find came with cute little hats or were too big.

So I thought, "HEY! I have leftover fleece and some lining fabric from the hat I made her; I can MAKE a pair of mittens!" So I told my DH, "This should be a piece of cake since the mittens don't need thumbs. It should only take about an hour to finish!"

Was I wrong or what! I made the mitten pattern, cut the fabric, and then sewed it all together completely wrong somehow. I have it all visualized in my head, but I just couldn't get it right.

I guess I'll just have to give it another shot when I get some spare time!
