You can buy ready-made oven mitts. But what is sold in stores, not often pleases with originality. The quality also leaves much to be desired. Synthetic stuff usually doesn't last very long. So what to do? There is only one way out - to make your own hands.

Preparation and choice of materials

What is the best fabric to use, so that the products will last long enough? To sew high-quality gloves for the kitchen with your own hands, you need to choose the right material, as well as the filler.

The best approach for these products will be natural fabrics:

• Cotton - a material on which you can easily create an original design. It is very versatile.
• Chintz, sateen, calico.
• Linen will look beautiful in interiors with a classic design and in the cottage. Linen can be decorated with embroidery.
• Denim (denim fabric).
• Felt is a very dense material, one of the most popular. It is convenient to work with it. Felt is sold in various colors.

These materials can withstand heat well, which is very important to protect your hands from burns. It is not necessary to buy a new fabric at all. For sewing gloves, it is good to use unnecessary old things, which are a lot in every home.

Synthetics and satin should not be used to make gloves! These materials can easily ignite. Shedding fabrics should not be chosen either. This is easy to check by soaking the scrap in hot water. If the water is clean, the fabric is suitable for use. The fabric should be washed and ironed before working. It is better to wash in a washing machine.

Inner filler.

For thin tackles, which serve to remove lids or move pots, just two layers of fabric will suffice. For things that take dishes out of the oven, you definitely need a filler. The following materials are suitable for the work:

• Felt and fleece are well resistant to high temperatures.
• Felt and batting. When choosing batting, it is better to choose the fabric for the base. If it burns, batting can easily catch fire and you can get burned.
• Drap, terry cloth. Drap is the perfect filler. It can withstand any temperature. It is better to take a demi-seasonal, winter is too thick and uncomfortable to work with.

Often use sintepon. But this material has a low thermal conductivity, so it is better to give it up. The thickness of the filler should not exceed 3 mm. Too thick a tack will be uncomfortable when "grabbing".

Shapes of tacking and peculiarities of work with patterns

Before you start the work, you need to decide on the shape of the product. There are sites on the Internet, where there are gloves with patterns for their own hands made of fabric. Also a lot of photos of such things. More often the following forms are used:

• Geometry. Usually it is a square or a circle. They can be made in a variety of sizes to fit well with your dishes.
• Mitten or Mittens. The shape is also very common and convenient. It is put on the hand and used to get the dishes out of the oven. In order not to burn your wrists, it is better to make such a thing in an elongated form.
• Model. These gloves come in a variety of sizes and shapes. It all depends on how developed your imagination is. They can be different animals (birds, fish, mice, butterflies, cats, dogs, etc.) or plants (fruits, berries, leaves, flowers). Such things always look cute and beautiful. Making such things may seem difficult. But, if you follow the instructions, everything will work out.

The pattern for making tack can be printed out or drawn yourself. If the material is loose, it is better to treat it with an overlock. Do not forget about seam allowances. It is better to leave 1-1,5 cm. For decorations do not use satin, rhinestones, beads. Do not use markers or pens. These items leave marks on the fabric that cannot be removed.
