Quilty Fabric in Home Goods! (Friday Foto Fun #67)
Happy Friday! I think I saw this on Mister Domestic's Instagram page a few weeks... or months ago (it was a while!) and it was an immediate "I need to get this" moment. It was a Hot Stuff Oven Mitt kit by Around the Bobbin! You can buy this kit from your local quilt shop or online directly from her shop! She sells the kits and silicone overlay refill without the pattern so you can make as many oven mitts as you'd like! *EDIT* Home Goods as products, not the Store!
I picked a beautiful Art Gallery print that I love but didn't know how to use in a quilt due to the large print. This was the perfect solution! The coral background in the photo above is the color I chose for the cuff of the oven mitt!
What you can't tell from the photos of the mitts is the inside is actually quilted! I did a simple cross hatch for my quilting. If you look closely you can see my traced outline of the mitt lining.
The top tip that I'd like to share, make sure to shove the exterior fabric completely inside the silicone and don't let it stick out too far! To sew the cuff I was using my Bernina because it had a smaller base than my Juki, but in hindsight, I should have taken out my travel Janome to sew because my Bernina base hardly fit inside the mitt. The absolute hardest part, in my opinion, was to sew the cuff and the silicone together.
I think it turned out pretty well despite my initial challenges sewing the cuff together.
Have you made an oven mitt before with quilting fabric? If so, was it too pretty to use?!

I’ve seen those mitts but not made one. I’m not much of a fan of the silicone, for some reason. It’s a great way to use large print fabric though! Great tips, too!
They look like great mits – not sure I’d make them but I love your version. OH and when I first read it I was thinking the Home Goods store was carrying quilty fabric – just about to run out. Phew….
Hi Sherry! All right, did I miss this? Did you get that pretty fabric at Home Goods? I never would have thought that store had fabric . . . Back to the mitts though – you did a fabulous job and thanks so much for the tip about the top stitching. I have made some mitts before but do not recall top stitching them. Hmm. Plus, I didn’t use silicone. Was it hard to work with? Did you have to use a special needle? Happy Friday to you. ~smile~ Roseanne
Love your oven mitt, Sherry!!! Great choice of cute fabric. I made a pair of those for my daughter’s bridal shower last fall and they were the talk of the party! I have a couple refills, so more coming up in the future. I love the silicon–keeps the fabric from getting scorched or spilled on!
