Oven Mitt

I promise I will soon blog about things other than potholders, but in the meantime here is one that I gave to my mom for Christmas, an oven mitt from Simple Sewing. I didn't know how to hand stitch the bias tape at the opening, so I tacked on the bias strip with plenty of needles and essentially gave her homework for a Christmas gift. Luckily, she was a sweetheart about it and accepted the project with a smile. She just finished it and sent me the lovely picture. Thanks, Mom! It looks great!
