This a little refashion from my old blog (That explains the heart with the name). I love them because of the soft lining! The heavy cloth against the skin is just ickyyyy! The best part is that you will have left enough sweater to make a vest! xD *It's 2 hrs because I sew it by hand, in a machine should be about 30mins ;)

First you mark your hands on the sweater (mine a bit wrong placed) and cut around leaving about 1cm to sew, the little holes are to fit the natural curve in the hand, so they won't fall everytime. ^.^
and then do the same with the t-shirt fabric! (but without the holes) and sew the t-shirt fabric so there wont be holes the cold air can come thru! then wrap the mitten (the sweater fabric) with the lining and sew sew! Be really careful with the little holes in the heavy fabric so the linning don't come out.
If you have spare fabric you can add a cute little ribbon... or button...
And they are ready! Heavy fabric yet soft feeling mittens! The one in the right looks a bit strange because it needs the hand to fit it. :D
