Sew Mittens From Upcycled Sweaters

November 1, 2022 by Anne Weaver

Welcome to our article on how to sew mittens from upcycled sweaters! In today’s world of fast fashion, it is easy to accumulate a large wardrobe of clothes that we no longer wear or need. Instead of letting these clothes take up space in your closet or end up in a landfill, why not give them a second life by repurposing them into something new and useful? In this article, we will show you how to turn an old sweater into a pair of warm and cozy mittens, perfect for keeping your hands toasty during the cold winter months.

Not only is recycling old clothing good for the environment, as it helps to reduce waste and minimize the amount of clothing that ends up in landfills, it is also a fun and creative way to give new life to items that you may have otherwise discarded. So why not give it a try? Whether you are an experienced sewer or a beginner, you will find this project easy and enjoyable. So gather your materials and let’s get started!

 

The sweater colors and designs make adorable mittens that will keep your hands warm all winter.  They make great gifts and are so fun to make, you may end up making them for everyone on your Christmas list! You can purchase the pattern from Fox and Pine Stitches.

With all the excitement and expectation of Santa’s visit, it can be hard for kids to go to sleep on Christmas Eve.  Melissa from Polka Dot Chair created special pillowcases for her nephews, to be used only on Christmas Eve.  When she gave them to them, she included a little poem explaining that they’re magic pillowcases to help them have sweet dreams.  She’s sharing a free printable of the poem on her blog, plus she links to a tutorial she’s written for making a pillowcase, so you can start the tradition with your own kids.
