Smittens

Did you know a sweater plus a mitten makes a smitten? In this hands-on class, turn an old wool sweater—from your closet or a thrift store—into warm, cozy mittens for yourself or someone you care about. Smittens are comfortable, practical and make great gifts for all ages. Create something warm, useful and handmade while learning a fun new skill.

Please bring your enthusiasm and the following supplies:
• Sewing machine and thread
• Fabric scissors
• Pins or fabric weights
• One wool sweater, washed in hot water and dried on high heat
• 3/8 yard of matching or contrasting fleece fabric

**Optional purchases:** Sandra offers an option to purchase materials for $20, which includes one wool sweater and 3/8 yard of matching or contrasting fleece fabric. A pattern will be provided for use during class, and participants may also purchase a copy to take home for $5. Please select any optional materials or pattern purchase during checkout if you would like the instructor to provide them.
