mini mitt's

I recently stumbled upon this very clever little pattern on this lovely blog.

I must say, my girls thought these were wonderful. 

They were a present for their special friend who shares my name- Naomi.

I am thinking I will have to make a couple of extra pairs for Christmas.

Outer fabric is from one very cute op shop pillowcase. 

Linen on the bottom half.

So if you are looking for a last minute, easy sewing idea for Christmas...these are perfect.

 The only thing I would change is quilting a big rectangle of fabric first, 

and then cutting your glove shapes out of this. 

Much less fiddly. Make sense?
