Mitten Ornaments From Vintage Lace And Fabric.... Take Two



I posted these cute little mitten Christmas ornaments three years ago, but I think they are so darn cute that they are worth another look!?  I hope you agree.

 They are a great way to use torn and stained vintage linen and lace scraps 


I am always saving vintage hankies, and embroidered linen that is stained or has holes, I just can't bare to throw them out when some portion is useful


This is the perfect project to use some of those scraps


I drew a free hand pattern of a mitten 5 1/2" X 4 1/2", cut two, sewed them together and embellished


These were from old tablecloths and an antique quilt


And old hand towel, table cloth, and quilt


Hanky, hand towel, and tablecloth


I adorned these with vintage lace, buttons, flowers, and jewelry



 Great hostess gifts for the holidays.


I think I could call these "Second Hand Mittens"!


Happy Creating!

    Oh my word, Carol!
    How did you know I just, uh, "lifted" a tattered, hand-sewn quilt from my mom's? I have a bag of Grandma's lace scraps & some of Auntie's buttons -- I know what all the gals of the family are getting for their trees this year!
    Thank you!

    Those are ADORABLE! I too have a hard time letting go of "rescue" linens..I sell my good ones but the rag tag ones go into a tote..ok..toteS! I have a good method to remove a lot of stains, but holes and some stains are NOT coming out. I can't bear to toss someone's handwork they labored over!
