Double Foldable Oven Mitt - Sewers Club

A Bit of Scrap Stuff #ABitofScrapStuff #SewersClub #Sew

Hi Sewing Friends! Today I'm going to be chatting about the November Sewers Club Box. I LOVE this month's project. The happy lemon Double Foldable Oven Mitt is both useful and adorable! It will definitely brighten your kitchen!

I even made a zipper pouch with the fabric scraps too! Yay for a bonus project with scraps!

All of the supplies you need to make the Double Foldable Oven Mitt are included in the Sewers Club Box - including an awesome instructional video! I highly recommend watching the video before starting your project as it is full of helpful tips! I like to watch the video and sew along - it's easy to pause and rewind/rewatch a step if needed!

I really like that Sewers Club includes (3) equal cuts of Lemonade fabric in your box so you can personalize your oven mitt! Did I mention I looooooove this fabric so much?!?!!!!

Be sure to read the pattern BEFORE starting your oven mitt. I didn't do this so I needed to add biding to my mitt to cover the start/stops on my quilting...oops! Luckily, there was extra fabric so I could do this!

Sewers Club has updated their website so you can now purchase previous patterns and many of the fabrics that were in previous boxes - yay! The Double Foldable Oven Mitt would make a fabulous Christmas gift! Extra Lemonade fabric available HERE.


My Bonus Zipper Pouch

I really liked the Lemonade fabric --- it's so cheerful so I wanted to make a bonus project with the scraps. I did add ric-rack, zipper, and fusible fleece from my stash.

I did not use a pattern for the Zipper Pouch, but based the measurements on the sizes of my fabric scraps. My finished pouch measures 9" x 7.5"  

I do have a free zipper pouch pattern HERE (you could adapt the pattern to fit your fabric scraps).

Did you make the Double Foldable Oven Mitt for yourself or a gift? I just love learning a new sewing technique each month plus I have a new project to enjoy or gift!!!

Howdy Friends! Today I'm sharing my Silo Barn Table Runner for the Quilty Barn Sew Along!  My project has a summer vibe and will be perfect under my Strawberry themed tiered tray next summer!  I can't decide if I like the Cherry or Strawberry Silo Barn the most...I love them both!

A Bit of Scrap Stuff #ABitofScrapStuff #QuiltyBarnSAL #FatQuarterShop #LoriHolt #LoriHoltBeeinmyBonnet #RileyBlake Designs #SiloBarnTableRunner

The Silo Barn Blocks, 6" blocks, and Silo Barn Table Runner Pattern are in the Farm Girl Vintage Book written by Lori Holt. The book includes many different block options so you can choose your favorite 6" blocks for your Silo Barns to match your decor!

Fun fact: The Strawberry 6" block has 44 pieces and Cherries 6" block has 31 pieces ... so tiny and cute!!!

I'm so excited to start using my new Bee in my Bonnet Planner in less than 2 months...it's fabulous! I find a planner to be a necessity for helping me remember dates and schedules plus accomplishing my goals.  I use one planner for everything - family/kids schedule, work, and quilting/cross stitching.

  • Perfect size 5" x 8.25" - I love this size as it fits in my bag! 
  • Spiral Bound - I love that the spiral binding allows for flat pages and the planner will stay open on desired page

Sew Can She Organizer - Sulky

A Bit of Scrap Stuff Blog #ABitofScrapStuff #SulkyThreads #SewBetterWithSulky #SewCanSheOrganizer #SewCanShe #Sew #ArtGalleryFabrics

Hi Sewing Friends! Today I'm sharing my Sew Can She Organizer .... it's awesome! This darling organizer has TWO vinyl zipper pockets on the inside to hold all of your sewing/stitching supplies. I LOVE it!

A Bit of Scrap Stuff Blog #ABitofScrapStuff #SulkyThreads #SewBetterWithSulky #SewCanSheOrganizer #SewCanShe #Sew #ArtGalleryFabrics

I love the vinyl pockets because I can see my supplies so easily! I was careful when cutting the white crochet hook fabric so the hooks would line up straight when sewn. It was definitely worth taking the extra time so the interior would look nice.

A Bit of Scrap Stuff Blog #ABitofScrapStuff #SulkyThreads #SewBetterWithSulky #SewCanSheOrganizer #SewCanShe #Sew #ArtGalleryFabrics

I chose to purchase the Sulky Sew Can She Organizer Kit because EVERYTHING I needed to make the project was included.

I enjoyed making this project so much, I ordered another kit in the taupe/mauve color way too. I hope to make that one in a few weeks!
