Mittens are a must have accessory in winter, as cold won’t do any good to your soft hands. That’s why having a pair of gloves to keep your hand warm and protected should be a priority when going outside. If you like to update your wardrobe every season, you can try this next project and make your own handmade mittens. You will only need: an old sweater, chalk, a pair of scissors and a sewing machine. Place your hand on the sweater to create the shape of the mittens and to make sure they will fit. Mark with chalk and sew the outline before cutting, so the knit fabric won’t tear apart. Always work on the back of the fabric, then when you are done turn it inside out. Your new pair of mittens will be stunning and they will keep you warm all winter! Photo courtesy: A Beautiful Mess
