Crafting your own Kitchen Mittens キッチンミトン is actually very similar to bag making. You also need to stitch through thicker, bulkier and more layers of fabrics. In this workshop, we will guide you on the type of batting to use to make your mittens more heat resistant (not heat proof). You'll also learn to do straight line quilting which can be applied to other sewing projects when you wish to achieve a quilted aesthetic. Learn to stitch your own kitchen mittens or make them for someone who loves to cook or bake. Even if you can only cook your own instant noodles, you still need a pair of kitchen mittens to serve your hot bowl! Choose from our wide variety of cute or chic Japanese cotton or cotton canvas materials or bring and cut your fabrics for the workshop.
