Skill level: This class is beginner friendly. Students must have prior knowledge of threading and sewing on a machine. Students will have made a few basic projects prior to this class.

Description: Escape the cold, reuse retired sweaters, and leave class with wool mittens to keep your hands warm this winter! In this class we will make upcycled wool sweater mittens, complete with a fleece lining. This is a great pattern to give new life to sweaters no longer being worn. Students can choose what size they want to make, which makes this a great project for yourself and/or to gift a loved one. By reusing wool sweaters, every student will create their own unique and personalized pair of mittens!

Ages 15

Class prep:

All students need to purchase AND print the PDF pattern ahead of the class.
